Lung Cancer: Repair Fault

Extractions: 20 March 2003 The 'sonic hedgehog' (Shh) signalling pathway is required in embryos for the normal development of the lungs, and now Watkins et al. show that Shh is also produced in the epithelial cells lining the mouse lung during regeneration from injury. Five out of ten human small-cell lung cancers, a frequently lethal cancer associated with cigarette smoking, also make Shh. This suggests that this aggressive cancer may result from inappropriate production of new epithelial cells under the influence of Shh. And that blockade of sonic hedgehog and hedgehog signalling pathways may represent a new therapeutic approach to a condition with a poor clinical prognosis. In initial tests, the Shh blocker cyclopamine inhibited growth of small-cell lung cancer cells grafted into mice.

The Uganda Medical Association president, Dr Margaret Mungherera told The New Vision recently that "We must protect the non-smoking public." Mungherera added that exposure to second hand smoke increased the risk of cancer, asthma, heart and respiratory diseases. Pregnant women exposed to second hand smoke are at an increased risk of getting complications in childbirth and often produce underweight babies.

A trial vaccine given to 25 patients in advanced stages of the disease has produced what researchers call "encouraging results." Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in North America and Europe. More people die of it than of breast, prostate, and colon cancer combined. The vaccine is therapeutic rather than preventive, designed to allow patients to live longer, not to prevent the disease.

Absolutely not, says Steve Brill, editor of Brill's Content , who claims the infusion of tobacco money and his publication of a protobacco article are "a total coincidence." Brill, who is also the magazine's top business executive, says he follows a simple principle: "We run the stories we think we should run, without regard to who the advertisers are." (The article was accompanied by an equivocating editor's note explaining that the magazine welcomes tobacco adsas does the Voice although smoking causes cancer.)

The lungs are a pair of cone-shaped organs situated inside the chest, they bring oxygen into the body and take out waste carbon dioxide. There is a strong link between smoking and lung cancer. There are two main categories of lung cancer; Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) , and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). World-wide over 1 million people are diagnosed with lung cancer each year.

Extractions: Dana-Farber Cancer Institute BOSTON In a demonstration of vaccine therapys potential for treating lung cancer, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute scientists and their associates report that a prototype vaccine boosted the natural immune response to tumors in a small group of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Moreover, the vaccine was found to be non-toxic and well-tolerated. Published in the Feb. 15 issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology, findings from the Phase I clinical trial will provide an impetus for further efforts to develop a vaccine against NSCLC, a difficult-to-treat condition that accounts for roughly 80 percent of all lung cancer cases. (Phase I trials are designed primarily to assess the safety of an experimental treatment.) "This work represents a new approach to a vaccine for lung cancer patients, says senior author Glenn Dranoff, MD, of Dana-Farber. "Were still at an early stage, but the results of this study are encouraging. They offer a 'proof of principle' that this technique can strengthen the normal immune response to NSCLC tumors and will help form the basis for testing the vaccine in patients with earlier stage lung cancer." The technique was originally developed for patients with advanced melanoma, a form of cancer that begins in the skin but can be deadly if allowed to spread to other parts of the body.

Treatment Options There are two major types of lung cancer: small cell and non-small cell - and different subtypes of non-small cell lung cancer. Each type grows and spreads in different ways, and is treated differently. Non-small cell is the most common form of lung cancer, growing and spreading more slowly than the small cell type, which is also known as oat cell cancer, due to its appearance under a microscope. Small cell lung cancer is more likely to spread to other organs in the body. According to the National Cancer Institute, cancer of the lung and bronchus (hereafter, lung cancer) is the second most common cancer among both men and women, second only to colorectal cancer. Cigarette smoking accounts for nearly ninety percent of all lung cancers, and it is therefore the single most preventable cancer in existence. Quitting smoking is beneficial at all ages, and the earlier in life one quits, the greater the benefits. One study estimated that men who quit smoking by age 50 reduced their risk of lung cancer by almost two-thirds, compared to men who continued to smoke at age 75. If you have been diagnosed with lung cancer, you should know that Cancer Treatment Centers of America provides you with the options and tools you need to focus on healing. Treatment for lung cancer depends on the stage of the disease, the location and size of the tumor, your age and general health, as well as other factors your doctor will discuss with you.
