| Sun prevents lung cancer | | 2008-06-14 05:12:35 | | In an investigation into lung cancer in 111 countries, researchers discovered that lung cancer is less prominent in countries that are closer to the equator. In the report, which is published in the British Medical Journal, the researchers say that the probable cause is the greater exposure to UVB rays. The greater amount of vitamin [...]... | | By: Masenka.Be - your guide to a healthy lifestyle | | |
| | Exubera Causes Lung Cancer | | 2008-04-15 04:13:31 | | Exubera is a rapid-acting insulin indicated for the treatment of adults with diabetes mellitus for the control ofhyperglycemia. In patients with type 1 diabetes, EXUBERA should be used in regimens that include a longer-acting insulin.In patients with type 2 diabetes, EXUBERA can be used as monotherapy or in combination with oral agents or longer-acting insulins.EXUBERA is contraindicated in patients who smoke or who have discontinued smoking less than 6 months prior tostarting EXUBERA therapy. If a patient starts or resumes smoking, EXUBERA must be discontinued immediately due tothe increased risk of hypoglycemia and an alternative treatment must be utilized.EXUBERA is contraindicated in patients with unstable or poorly controlled lung disease, because of wide variations in lung function that could affect the absorption of EXUBERA and increase the risk of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. The use of EXUBERA in patients with underlying lung disease, such as asthma or COPD, is not recommend... | | By: Complete Health Blog | | |

| Lung Cancer, Mesothelioma and Asbestos | | 2008-02-06 11:29:00 | | Commonly, because lung cancer symptoms do not manifest in the early stage of the disease, treating it will be a big problem especially when detection happens when cancer metastases or secondary cancer cells already developed in the other organs of the body. Much research work has been dedicated to find out the first symptoms of lung cancer. Extensive research works conducted at Mesothelioma research clinics have uncovered some symptoms of lung cancer closely linked with the disease.The main three symptoms to lung cancer that should not be ignored are shortness of breath, pain when breathing or coughing, and existence of a persistent cough, especially if it is accompanied by expectoration of sputum streaked with blood. Additionally, loss of appetite, fatigue, unusual losses of weight are three symptoms, which are indicative of lung cancer. The website further deals with the symptoms that can indicate and help identify the formulation of the preliminary stages of the disease (though diff... | | By: Mesothelioma Treatment Info | | |
| | Something About Lung Cancer | | 2008-01-10 15:58:00 | | Lung Cancer is the most common and lethal of the cancers that one can be diagnosed with; however there are also effective treatments for patients suffering from lung cancer.Most cases of lung cancer are smoking related, but not all smokers will develop this form of the cell degenerative disease. It is a good idea to quit smoking if you are, and even the occasional cigar could increase your chances of getting lung cancer. This is why it is also especially dangerous to smoke near children and babies, because among the other harmful effects, this can play a huge role in their development of cancer one day.There are many different types of lung cancers. These are Epidermold carcinoma or Squamous cell carcinoma which is most common in men and attacks the bronchial tube lining. Then there is Adenocarcinoma lung cancer which forms in the mucus glands and occurs mainly in females and in non smokers. Bronchioalveolar carcinoma is a rare part of Adenocarcinoma cancer, forms near to the air sacs in the lung and is shown to be responding more effectively to the newer clinical trial treatments.Other types of lung cancer are the Large cell undifferentiated carcinomas which occur on the outer edges of the lungs closer to the surface. This type spreads more quickly than the others and has usually done so by the time it is even diagnosed. Small cell lung cancer is caused more often than not by smoking and accounts for 20 percent of all cases of the disease. The cells start off small but quickly grow into large tumors.Lung cancer can be easy to miss as the symptom produce in the form of normal flu like symptoms and normal illnesses like bronchitis and pneumonia. You could have an irritating cough and some chest, back and shoulder pain. If you notice any blood in the sputum or a change in its color then it will be wise to have it checked. Other symptoms could include a shortness of breath or very difficult breathing.The symptoms of lung cancer do not have to be only respiratory relate... | | By: How to Detect Cancer | | |
| | Smoking Duration vs. Intensity and the Impact on Lung Cancer Risk | | 2007-10-24 00:03:02 | | We’ve discussed smoking and health a number of times recently:

| | Lung Cancer and Detection in the same Breath | | 2007-04-03 08:07:00 | | We should not screen for lung cancer unless the trials demonstrate a reduction in mortality. In the 1970s and ’80s, there was great interest in screening smokers for lung cancer using conventional chest X-rays. The question was seen as so important that it was examined using the gold standard of medical studies, a randomized trial. The most famous of these trials, at the Mayo Clinic, showed how misleading survival can be. Although the 10-year survival rate doubled with screening, mortality was not reduced; indeed, screening may have increased it.US scientists have devised a colour test which shows up unique chemical changes in the breath of people with lung cancer. The hues detect lung cancer accurately in just under three out of four people with the disease. The sensor, which is slightly bigger than a quarter dollar or a two pound coin, is inexpensive and easy to use. It could revolutionise the way lung cancer is detected and potentially save lives, say the Cleveland Clinic doctors.... | | By: The Health Archive | | |
