In 1998 there were: 160,000 deaths due to lung cancer in the United States 172,000 new cases of lung cancer 12% cure rate for lung cancer By contrast, the 5 year survival rate for lung cancer detected early (Stage IA) was 85-100% Routine chest x-ray screening often are unable to detect lung cancers until they are of advanced stage. * Screening CT Chest shows lung carcinoma in the left lower lobe which was obscured by the heart on the routine chest x-ray performed two weeks earlier. What studies have been done to evaluate this test? A study by Henschke, et al.* found that n on-calcified pulmonary nodules were detected in 23% participants by low dose CT at baseline, compared with 7% by chest radiography. Malignant disease was detected in 2-7% by CT and of the 27 CT-detected cancers, 26 were resectable. It was concluded that low-dose CT can greatly improve the likelihood of detection of small (early) lung cancers, and thus potentially more curable stage. Who should consider lung cancer screening?

Smoke signals California's anti-tobacco campaign sees fewer deaths by lung and bronchial cancer By Megan Malugani February 5, 2001 Photo: Photodisc Many nurses are motivated to participate in smoking cessation and prevention initiatives because they witness firsthand the devastation that tobacco causes their patients, but the nursing profession could be doing even more to spread the anti-tobacco message.

Press Release WHO/29 9 March 1998 PASSIVE SMOKING DOES CAUSE LUNG CANCER DO NOT LET THEM FOOL YOU The World Health Organization (WHO) has been publicly accused of suppressing information. Its opponents say that WHO has withheld from publication its own report that was aimed at but supposedly failed to scientifically prove that there is an association between passive smoking, or environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), and a number of diseases, lung cancer in particular. Both statements are untrue. The study in question is a case-control study on the effects of ETS on lung cancer risk in European populations, which has been carried out over the last seven years by 12 research centres in 7 European countries under the leadership of WHO's cancer research branch the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). The results of this study, which have been completely misrepresented in recent news reports, are very much in line with the results of similar studies both in Europe and elsewhere: passive smoking causes lung cancer in non-smokers.

We need to hear from you about your satisfaction with our electronic version of LCF. Click here for a short four question form to fax back. Our purpose is to acquire and disseminate new knowledge about lung cancer and how it can be most quickly and effectively diagnosed and treated. Lung Cancer Frontiers was launched in January 1996 as a newsletter dedicated to advancing knowledge about lung cancer. It's emphasis is on early identification and treatment. Lung Cancer Frontiers has a renowned international editorial board who is responsible for selecting material for publication. We believe that we have sufficient knowledge today to change the outcome of lung cancer. We can do this with new technologies which were not available at the time of the historic randomized clinical trials on the early diagnosis of lung cancer. These studies were flawed from many standpoints and should not be accepted as dogma today. Lung Cancer Frontiers is sent to all board certified pulmonologists in North America. We must get pulmonologists involved in the new era where lung cancer can be found, treated and cured. Pulmonologists can and must play a central role in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.

Table of Contents FDA Consumer magazine May-June 1999 Waging War on Lung Cancer by Ellen Brown Five years ago, when Ken Giddes was vacationing with his wife in Vancouver, British Columbia, the 61-year-old resident of Atlanta began feeling short of breath. But since he was "running around quite a bit," Giddes chalked up his problem to being an overachieving tourist. When he returned home, though, his shortness of breath persisted. The causeuncovered by an x-raywas a collapsed lung. But it wasn't until he underwent surgery to repair his lung, that the cause of the collapse was clear: lung cancer had eaten a hole in the air sack of his lung. After surgeons removed his lung in an effort to contain the cancer, they checked Giddes for any traces of cancer every three months. Within a year there was more bad news: a CT scan revealed 13 spots on his remaining lung. Surgery revealed the cancer had spread throughout his remaining lung. Giddes recalled that he was given less than a 30 percent chance of living another two years. But he decided to battle the cancer "with all the energy, hope and positive attitude I could muster." After 30 weeks of chemotherapy, he was told his cancer was in remission. Today, he's glad he didn't give up because he's beaten the odds, surviving five years since his cancer was diagnosed. And as the head of the Caring Ambassador Program, sponsored by Republic Financial Corporation, he's helping other cancer survivors wage war on lung cancer, too.
