Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death1. It is a heterogeneous disease with many clinically important subtypes2. Among these, histologic phenotype is a particularly important predictor of resp
The most widely used imaging technique for lung cancer diagnosis is Computerised Tomography (CT) scanning. In this work, the CAD method is used to differentiate between the phases of pictures of lung cancer stages. Abnormality detection consists of 4 steps: pre-processing, segmentation, extraction ...

Dr. Christine Berg of the National Cancer Institute was a director of the screening trial. "You can hold your breath during that time and get very thin pictures through the entire lung and see very small abnormalities," she said. The survival rate for lung cancer is low. Fewer than 15 pe...
血液检测则是一种公认高效便捷的方式。6 月 2~6 日在美国芝加哥举办的 2023 美国临床肿瘤学会(ASCO)大会公布了一项「Early detection of lung cancer using small RNAs(利用微小 RNA 早期检测肺癌)」相关壁报研究(Abstract:3035)[3]。那么,「滴血验癌」真的能成为临床有效检测肺癌的手段吗?
