There have been many advancements in both our understanding of the genetic basis of lung cancer and treatment options. Dr. J. Paul Marcoux, a medical oncologist at Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women’s Cancer Center and director of the Lowe Center for Thoracic Oncology, explains what patients can expect from various aggressive treatments.

A lung cancer diagnosis may be frightening, but there is hope. Dr. Yolonda Colson, a thoracic surgeon and director of the Women’s Lung Cancer Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, discusses the advancements in treatment and improving survival rates among lung cancer patients, as well as the support resources available to them.

www.encognitive.com It’s been said that statistics is the only field where two people can draw different conclusions on the same set of data. For example, chemotherapy’s estimated efficacy rate is 3% to 80%. This wide gap depends on whether you’re using the 5 year survival rate defined by the American Cancer Society or the total life survival rate. 1. So, what is chemotherapy? It is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It was invented around WWII from the poisonous nerve gas called Mustard Gas. 2. It is very difficult to discuss any success rates for treating lung cancer with chemo, radiation, surgery or a combination of those, because it depends on many variables — type and stage of cancer, its location and size, the age and health of the patient, and so on. Very generally, for non-small cell lung cancer 5 year survival rate varies from up to 80% at stage I to less than 1% at stage IV. For small-cell lung cancer, same rate for limited stage is bout 10% and none for extensive stage. 3. So, basically, the success in curing lung cancer is dismally low. Even with early detection and screening programs for lung cancer, many studies show no significant survival benefit. And since the majority of lung cancer is diagnosed at a relatively late stage, only about 10% of all lung cancer patients are ultimately cured. 4. There is a rather large variety of alternative lung cancer …

Lung cancer requires different kinds of treatment from several different specialties, says lung cancer expert Mark G. Kris, MD, fromMemorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in this video from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN). The NCCN, a not-for-profit alliance of 21 of the world’s leading cancer centers, is dedicated to improving the quality and effectiveness of care for patients with cancer.

My book will show how cancer cells can be induced to commit natural cell suicide (apoptosis) and be naturally flushed out of the human body. We only need to see the process applied in laboratories around the world and hopefully the creation of a world cancer cure bank filled with a curative treatment cocktail for every genetic line of cancer known to humanity.My book will show how cancer cells can be induced to commit natural cell suicide (apoptosis) and be naturally flushed out of the human body.
