Medical Research Breakthroughs and Lung cancer

New Technique to fight Lung Cancer: Israeli researchers are developing microRNA-based technologies for diagnostic and therapeutic applications; describe a test that helps make crucial distinctions between types of lung cancer. The researchers show the method can accurately distinguish between squamous and non-squamous forms of non-small-cell lung cancer based on the levels of different microRNA molecules found in tissue samples. MicroRNAs are short RNA molecules that regulate many cancer-related processes. In another report, Italian researchers show that genetic analysis can help identify patients who are at high risk of relapse after surgery to remove lung cancer. This may aid in choosing the appropriate drug for the patient. Although these results are preliminary, the group's test shows the presence of the gene LCK, which is an important marker of immune cell anticancer activity, DUSP-6 which regulates a signalling pathway involved in cancer spread, and ERCC1, which is thought to be a significant prognostic and therapeutic biomarker in non-small-cell lung cancer.

Cure Research discussion for Lung cancer:

A large-scale study, known as the PLCO (Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian) Cancer Screening Trial, is currently evaluating the usefulness of a blood test for the tumor marker known as CA-125 and a test called transvaginal ultrasound for ovarian cancer screening.
