Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan01:13

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
Cancer Vaccines01:30

Cancer Vaccines

Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...
Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

Targeted Cancer Therapies

The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against specific...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pulmonology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Lung cancer is a leading global cause of cancer mortality.
  • Late-stage diagnosis significantly reduces survival rates, with 5-year survival dropping from 73% in stage IA to 13% in stage IV.
  • Early detection and prevention are vital to decrease the global burden of lung cancer.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the current status of lung cancer screening.
  • To review the findings of the National Lung Cancer Screening Trial.
  • To explore the potential of computed tomography (CT) screening, bronchoscopy, and biomarkers in early lung cancer detection.

Main Methods:

  • Review of the National Lung Cancer Screening Trial (NLST) results.
  • Discussion of computed tomography (CT) screening implementation.
  • Overview of bronchoscopy's role in early detection.
  • Exploration of potential biomarkers for early lung cancer diagnosis.

Main Results:

  • The National Lung Cancer Screening Trial demonstrated the effectiveness of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) in reducing lung cancer mortality.
  • Computed tomography screening is a key consideration for early lung cancer detection.
  • Bronchoscopy and novel biomarkers show promise for aiding in early diagnosis.

Conclusions:

  • Early detection through screening methods like LDCT is essential for improving lung cancer survival rates.
  • Integrating CT screening, bronchoscopy, and biomarker analysis may enhance early lung cancer diagnosis and management.
  • Continued research into screening modalities and biomarkers is critical to reduce lung cancer mortality globally.
