Why Lung Cancer Cases Are Rising Among Indian Women: Understanding the Risk and the Road Ahead
Unpacking the Rise in Lung Cancer Among Indian Women Lung cancer is not just a disease of men. In India, the burden among women is growing, driven by a complex mix of smoking patterns, environmental exposures, and limited access to early detection. Recent analyses of global cancer data show that Indian women face a higher…

Lung Cancer Rising Among Indian Women: Causes, Risks, and Prevention
Why Indian Women Face a Rising Risk of Lung Cancer Lung cancer among Indian women is an increasing public health concern. While historically perceived as a condition predominantly affecting men, evidence from global and national cancer registries shows that Indian women are experiencing higher lifetime risks than before. This shift is driven by a complex…

Why Lung Cancer is Rising Among Indian Women: Causes, Barriers, and Prevention
Why Lung Cancer Cases Are Rising Among Indian Women Lung cancer among Indian women is an emerging public health concern. While historically less common than in men, recent data show a worrying uptick in incidence and mortality. Understanding the drivers behind this trend is essential for policies, health messaging, and personal choices that can reduce…

Inflammation Drives Early Lung Cancer: MD Anderson Maps
New Insights into the Onset of Lung Cancer Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have unveiled a landmark approach to understanding how lung cancer begins. By creating high-resolution cellular and molecular maps of lung tissue before and during cancer development, the team shows that chronic inflammation may be a primary driver…

Inflammation Drives Early Lung Cancer, MD Anderson Study Finds
Overview: Inflammation as an Early Driver of Lung Cancer A groundbreaking study by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center suggests that inflammation may be a crucial catalyst in the very first stages of lung cancer development. By assembling high-resolution cellular and molecular maps of lung tissue before and during tumor emergence,…

Dye Illuminates Lung Nodules for Early Cancer Detection
Understanding Lung Nodules and the Challenge of Early Detection Lung nodules are small, round growths in the lungs that show up on imaging tests like CT scans. While most nodules are benign, some can indicate early stages of lung cancer. Because nodules are often tiny—sometimes only a few millimeters across—spotting them early can be difficult.…

IFITM3-MET Interaction Drives Osimertinib Resistance in EGFR-Mutant NSCLC
Overview: A New Mechanism Behind Osimertinib Resistance in EGFR-Mutant NSCLC Osimertinib has transformed the treatment landscape for patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Yet resistance remains a major hurdle. A recent study identifies a non-genetic mechanism: the membrane protein IFITM3 interacts with MET to activate the PI3K-AKT signaling axis, enabling tumor cells to…

Could COVID Vaccines Help Fight Cancer? What the New Findings Mean
Could the COVID-19 vaccine help in the fight against cancer? Emerging research is stirring new questions about how COVID-19 vaccines, particularly mRNA vaccines, might interact with cancer therapies. A study analyzing more than 1,000 patient records suggests that receiving a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine within 100 days of starting immunotherapy was associated with longer survival for…

Could COVID mRNA Vaccines Help Fight Cancer? New US Study Sparks Hope—and Caution
Can COVID mRNA vaccines boost cancer treatment? Recent research from the United States has sparked interest in a surprising possible benefit of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine: enhancing the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy. In a retrospective analysis of more than 1,000 patient records, researchers found that patients with advanced lung cancer or metastatic skin cancer (melanoma)…
