Currently in the United Kingdom, there are guidelines from both the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence and the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network regarding the use of PET scanning in lung cancer. The key points of both guidelines are:1) Surgical candidates on CT should ...

Cells in the lungs do tend to change and can grow or stop behaving normally. Some of these cells can grow into benign, non-cancerous tumors or malignant tumors. These cells can destroy the nearby tissue and can also spread to other parts of the body, causing lung cancer. Lung cancers ...

Benign pulmonary lesions were found in 5/36 patients, three of whom had a negative PET scan. The sensitivity of detection of lung cancer by FDG PET was therefore 93.5%. Bayesian study shows that FDG PET could be the most useful method in a population with a low prevalence of lung cancer...
The division into groups is based on the type of cells that make up the cancer. The two main types of lung cancer are characterized by the cell size and cell type of the tumor when viewed under the microscope. They are called small cell lung cancer(SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer...

A PET scan may be done to see if the cancer has spread to other parts of your body. Radioactive liquid is injected into your IV to help cancer cells show up better in pictures. Blood tests are done to get information about your overall health. A sputum sample may be tested for cancer...
The question of whether keeping pet birds increases the risk of lung cancer was first raised by Holst.1 2 Having noted a higher occurrence of lung cancer among bird owners in a Dutch general practice population, he and colleagues carried out a case control study comparing hospital patients with...
