BACKGROUND: The lung cancer database project was established in 1999 at the National Cancer Center Hospital East, Japan, as an ongoing project to integrate data on various factors in lung cancer patients. The aim of the project was to construct a large-scale cancer registry for lung cancer th...

A Brock University epidemiologist has produced a more powerful version of a tool used to predict a person's likelihood of developing lung cancer.
Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most frequent cancer types and is responsible for the majority of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The management of NSCLC has improved considerably, especially in the past 10 years. The systematic screening of populations at risk with low-dose...
Lung cancer is the primary cause of mortality in the United States and around the globe. Therapeutic options for lung cancer treatment include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted drug therapy. Medical management is often associated with the development of treatment resistance leading ...
One reason for the high death rate of lung cancer is that tumours are not usually detected until the disease is at a late stage, at which point the cancer is non-curable. Spiral computerized tomography is a highly sensitive imaging method that could be used to screen high-risk populations,...
single-arm studies of screening by comparing the frequency of lung cancer cases, lung cancer resection, advanced lung cancer cases, and deaths from lung cancer occurring in these studies with what would have occurred in the absence of screening, as determined from a set of validated prediction ...
