The lungs are a major organ of human respiration, and problems with them can directly affect the respiratory system and thus the health of a person's life. It is therefore very important to take care of your lungs. Instead of blindly buying those expensive health products, it is better to take some simple foods to cleanse and moisten your lungs.
Research suggests that gender-related differences in lung cancer survival are largely determined by known prognostic factors, suggesting an opportunity to explore gender differences in treatment preference, choice and accessibility.
For many patients after early lung cancer surgery, it is common for them to worry about recurrence. For this reason, many patients tend to undergo CT examinations more closely to ensure that they have not had a recurrence. However, a recent new study conducted by researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found that even with more frequent CT reviews, post-operative outcomes for lung cancer did not improve...
A new clinical trial update shows that oxitinib (known as Teresa, or 9291) nearly doubled disease-free survival and halved post-operative recurrence rates in lung cancer patients carrying an early stage EGFR mutation!
Recent findings show that the use of cutting-edge immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy (referred to as immunotherapy in this article) has increased rapidly over the past decade in the population of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but the survival benefit is more pronounced in younger people than in older people, who have limited survival benefit with this therapy.
The FDA has granted accelerated approval to Adagrasib for the treatment of patients with KRAS G12C mutations in non-small cell lung cancer. In the trial, the drug resulted in disease control in 80% of patients, of which, 43% had substantial tumour shrinkage.
The reality is that many people with lung nodules want to know. After all, curing lung nodules without surgery meets the needs of most people. So, can these modalities get rid of lung nodules?
The US FDA approved a new treatment for non-small cell lung cancer - Tremelimumab + Durvalumab + platinum-based chemotherapy. The triple combination therapy significantly improves efficacy and patient survival and has a good safety profile.
According to data from an ongoing Phase I/Ib clinical trial (NCT04374877), an innovative IL-27 inhibitor called SRF388 has shown promising results in the treatment of locally advanced or advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which undoubtedly brings new hope for the treatment of lung cancer patients in general!
Recently, a study for the treatment of advanced EGFR-mutated and c-MET-positive lung cancer showed good results with the cutting-edge ADC drug teliso-V in combination with the EGFR generation-targeted drug troche (i.e. erlotinib).
