A hotly debated lung cancer drug cut the risk of death by 34% in a late-stage trial in China
An experimental lung cancer drug from Akeso and Summit Therapeutics reduced the risk of death by 34% in a closely watched late-stage trial, according to results released Sunday. When combined with chemotherapy, the drug kept people with squamous non-small-cell lung cancer alive for a median of four months longer than the standard combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy, a result that was statistically significant, according to an abstract released Sunday ahead of a presentation at the...
Blood test can predict lung cancer 5 years before diagnosis
Scientists have identified warning signals in the blood that can predict lung cancer more than five years before the disease is diagnosed, a breakthrough that could help tackle one of India’s deadliest cancers, where most patients are detected only at an advanced stage. The findings are particularly relevant for India, where lung cancer cases are projected to rise from about 63,700 in 2015 to more than 81,000 by 2025 and nearly 80-85% of patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage.

Anti-Melanoma Differentiation-Associated protein 5 Auto-Antibodies Promote a Profibrotic Phenotype in a Human Lung Fibroblast Cell Line
Anti-melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (anti-MDA5) autoantibodies identify a distinct dermatomyositis subset frequently associated with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD). While these antibodies are established disease markers, their direct contribution to pulmonary fibrosis is poorly defined. This study investigated the pathogenic effects of patient-derived polyclonal anti-MDA5 antibodies on IMR-90 human lung fibroblasts.
