Latest Advances in Lung Cancer Research

A new study found blood changes linked to air pollution exposure show up years before a lung cancer diagnosis.

New study shows counting smoking years, not cigarette amount, could catch more lung cancers and make screening fairer for veterans.

A new NYT report shows that only a small fraction of people who qualify for lung-cancer screening get tested, leaving many early cancers undetected.

A Forbes article warns that few eligible Americans get lung cancer screening the and cancellation of a USPSTF meeting could delay important updates, worsening underuse.

A five-biomarker blood test combining cfDNA levels and gene methylation patterns detected lung cancer with 84% accuracy, offering a promising non-invasive early screening tool.

Lung cancer cases in never-smokers are increasing, driven by air pollution and genetic mutations, particularly affecting women and younger patients.

Study of 1,143 lung cancer patients shows improved MET exon 14 mutation detection methods help select better targeted treatments.

New AI model Sybil predicts future lung cancer risk from a single CT scan, offering hope for personalized screening, especially for Asian never-smokers.

A major Australian-Canadian lung cancer screening study found that 73% of high-risk participants had incidental findings during baseline CT scans, with 10% requiring clinical follow-up, highlighting significant inconsistencies in how these findings are reported to doctors and raising important questions about standardization as Australia prepares to launch its national screening program in 2025.

Researchers developed RARE-seq, an ultrasensitive blood test detecting cell-free RNA that identifies early-stage lung cancer and monitors treatment resistance.

Chest CT scans used for lung cancer screening can do more than just find early lung cancer. These scans can also detect heart problems and early emphysema, offering a three-in-one health check for people at risk.
