New insights could help unlock the mystery of how lung cancer arises in never smokers

A genomic analysis of lung cancer in people with no history of smoking has found that a majority of these tumors arise from the accumulation of mutations caused by natural processes in the body.

Researchers develop adult lung organoids that represent all cell types

Since the COVID-19 pandemic reached the United States in early 2020, scientists have struggled to find laboratory models of SARS-CoV-2 infection, the respiratory virus that causes COVID-19. Animal models fell short; attempts to grow adult human lungs have historically failed because not all of the cell types survived.

MSK researchers identify potential biomarker of response to checkpoint immunotherapy

In recent years, immune-based treatments for cancer have buoyed the hopes of doctors and patients alike. Drugs called immune checkpoint inhibitors have provided lifesaving benefits to a growing list of people with several types of cancer, including melanoma, lung cancer, bladder cancer, and many more.

The White Ribbon Project comes to UC Davis to acknowledge efforts in tackling lung cancer

Retired linebacker Chris Draft, who played on the 49ers and the Falcons as well as other NFL teams, was at UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center on Tuesday, Aug. 24, to acknowledge efforts by the cancer center to tackle lung cancer.

Combination of metformin and chemoradiation does not add survival benefit in patients with LA-NSCLC

A combination of metformin and chemoradiation in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) was not found to add survival benefit in the NRG Oncology clinical trial NRG-LU001. These results were recently published in JAMA Oncology.

New prediction model can identify NSCLC patients who are not likely to respond to immunotherapy

Immunotherapy agents that inhibit the molecules PD1, PD-L1 or CTLA-4 have become widely used in clinical practice to treat non-small cell lung cancer, or NSCLC.

New AI blood test found to detect over 90% of lung cancers

A novel artificial intelligence blood testing technology developed by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center was found to detect over 90% of lung cancers in samples from nearly 800 individuals with and without cancer.

HMGA1 plays role in gastric cancer cell proliferation and metastasis

Aging-US published "HMGA1 promotes gastric cancer growth and metastasis by transactivating SUZ12 and CCDC43 expression" which reported that HMGA1 is overexpressed in GC cells and the high expression of HMGA1 was correlated with worse survival in GC patients using a bioinformatics assay.

MD Anderson receives nearly $13 million from CPRIT to support research efforts

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has been awarded $12.75 million from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas to support basic, clinical, translational and prevention research efforts, including $3 million for a new project to build clinical trial network infrastructure across Texas.

Arteriolar niche used by breast cancer cells to prepare for metastasis

More than 43,000 American women will die from breast cancer this year. Most of those deaths will occur after the cancer has spread to other organs, a process called metastasis. This involves at least five major steps.

Study shows how mesenchymal stromal cells regulate factors driving inflammation in COPD patients

A new phase I clinical study shows, for the first time, how treatment with a type of stem cell called mesenchymal stromal cells is able to regulate important factors driving inflammation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) for a period for time.

New assay using fresh uncultured lung tumor cells could guide personalized treatments

A new study from the University of Helsinki shows that cells that are freshly isolated from lung cancers can be used to create robust drug response data. This approach can identify actionable or non-responsive treatments, illustrated by a case study in which the assay was used to guide the compassionate treatment of a patient.

Researchers report potential of a berry-producing vine against lung cancer in mice

Lung cancer is known to be the most fatal form of cancer. Chemicals like 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) found in tobacco are usually the main culprits behind smoking-related lung cancer causing cancer biologists to actively explore targeted treatments.

Study examines the relationship between air pollution and labor productivity

Recent studies have highlighted the link between high levels of air pollution and poor health; for example, even short exposure to air pollutants can increase the risk of respiratory infections, heart disease and even lung cancer.

New research offers hope to increase efficacy of immunotherapy for lung cancer

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death. Current treatments employ immunotherapy, often in combination with chemotherapy, but benefits to patients remain slight.

Two-arm molecule can deplete cancer-protecting cells to promote immune responses against tumors

A two-arm molecule can effectively deplete cancer-protecting cells inside tumors, allowing the immune system to fight off tumors without becoming overactive. The finding, published online in Science Translational Medicine, could lead to new types of cancer immunotherapies.
