Now, a new study by the physicians of ELCAP reports the results of repeating the CT screenings on an annual basis a more significant event than doing the screenings just once. The findings should give even more hope to people at high risk for lung cancer (smokers aged 60 and over). Published in the July issue of Cancer

Preventing cancer: 6 steps WASHINGTON (AP) Smokers and ex-smokers soon will be able to predict their risk of lung cancer by using a new formula that counts how long and how much they smoked, and how long since they kicked the habit. Scientists hope the formula will help people decide if they really want to try a controversial test to detect early-stage lung cancer. The calculation, published in this week's Journal of the National Cancer Institute, shows a wide variation in risk. Consider a 51-year-old woman who smoked a pack a day since she was 14 until stopping nine years ago. The formula puts her chances of getting lung cancer in the next 10 years at less than 1 in 100. Compare a 68-year-old man who smoked two packs a day since he was 18 and hasn't yet quit. He has a 1 in 7 chance of lung cancer by his 78th birthday if he keeps puffing. If he quit smoking today, the risk drops slightly, to 1 in 9.

The Health Effects Of Passive Smoking: A Scientific Information Paper An extensive review of evidence published in peerreviewed scientific journals linking passive smoking to disease including asthma in children, lower respiratory illness, lung cancer, major coronary conditions and other illnesses. http://www.health.gov.au/nhmrc/advice/nhmrc/foreword.htm

For text only browsers, click here to see full site index The health effects of passive smoking - A Scientific Information Paper November 1997 National Health and Medical Research Council Foreword The health effects of passive smoking In June 1993, the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) established a Working Party to update the NHMRC's 1986 report Effects of passive smoking on health During 1993 and 1994 the Working Party undertook a process of public consultation on two occasions and received submissions from a wide range of persons and bodies. In November 1995, the Working Party published a draft report entitled The health effects of passive smoking . The draft report was endorsed for public consultation by the NHMRC at its 120th Session in November 1995. Approximately 900 copies of the document were circulated in the Australian community and overseas. The NHMRC had intended to make regulatory recommendations on measures which could reduce any illness caused by passive smoking. In this regard section 12 of the National Health and Medical Research Council Act 1992 ('the Act') provides a statutory procedure which the NHMRC must follow if it chooses to make regulatory recommendations or issue guidelines.

Design: Analysis of 37 published epidemiological studies of the risk of lung cancer (4626 cases) in non-smokers who did and did not live with a smoker. The risk estimate was compared with that from linear extrapolation of the risk in smokers using seven studies of biochemical markers of tobacco smoke intake. Main outcome measure: Relative risk of lung cancer in lifelong non-smokers according to whether the spouse currently smoked or had never smoked.

What are the chemical and radiologic characteristics of radon? Rn), formed in the U decay chain, is the most important isotope because of its relatively long half-life of 3.82 days. The short half-life beta- and gamma-emitting decay products of Rn achieve equilibrium with the parent isotope within several hours. 2. Draw the 226Ra decay chain. Include the half-life and major emission type of each decay product. 3. What are Rn progeny? Why are they important? Radon-222 progeny is another name for the Rn decay products or Rn daughters.

By taking part in a new study, they can help scientists conquer lung cancer, the deadly disease that kills more Americans each year than any other form of cancer. And in the process, they can get help with quitting or staying quit. Smokers and former smokers between the ages of 55 and 74 are needed for the National Lung Screening Trial, being conducted at medical centers around the United States, including the University of Michigan Health System. Former smokers must have quit in the last 15 years. Participants must have no history of lung cancer. The ultimate goal of the nationwide study is to determine whether regular CT scanning or chest X-rays can help reduce lung cancer death rates by catching cancer early.
