The NAB technology is being tested in some other cancers like lung cancer and pancreatic cancer. In other cases, where credible breakthrough has lacked, experts are using a combination of anti-cancer drugs to increase their efficacy. Novartis’ Zometa and Glaxos’ Tykerb is being tried with other drugs that has showed almost 36% more survival in chronic breast cancer patients.

When he was 10, Kelton noticed a lump on the left side of his jaw. He was diagnosed with adenoma carcinoma of his parotid salivary gland – a rare cancer for someone so young.

After surgery to remove the lump and radiation treatments, Kelton’s follow-up tests were cancer-free until last February, when spots were noticed on his lungs.

It was determined that the cancer – stage 4 metastatic non-small cell lung cancer – had moved into his lungs, kidneys and his left leg.

According to study results, published in the June 2008 Arthritis Care and Research, rheumatoid arthritis patients who were treated with methotrexate were found to have a 50% increased risk of developing any form of cancer. The risk of non-Hodgkins lymphoma was more than 5 times greater in rheumatoid arthritis patients than in the general population. Rheumatoid arthritis patients also were found to have triple the risk of lung cancer and triple the risk of melanoma.

A.E. Hotchner, who co-founded Newman’s Own salad dressing company with the actor in the 1980s, said he had been fighting the disease for at least 18 months.
Speculation had been rife that Newman had lung cancer after he looked unwell in recent photographs.

Kanzius’ goal was to focus a large number of low-frequency radio waves into a small area. The idea was to heat metal, and in turn kill cancer cells. The same thing that happens when metal is placed in a microwave oven, which uses frequencies a million times more powerful to vibrate molecules and generate heat. The metal heats up. Way up.

A federal judge yesterday sealed portions of a lawsuit that alleges the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and other parties should have known that the lungs they transplanted into a Newark, N.J., man were diseased.

 1 of 3 Nevada women who were awarded millions in damages in a drug-company lawsuit has died.Pamela Forrester was 65-years-old and under hospice care for lung cancer when she died Thursday.

Since measles appears to attack the lungs first, it might have served as a treatment for lung cancer. But researchers were running into some trouble understanding what receptor the measles virus uses to enter the system.

An article in the July edition of The Lancet Oncology suggests that a common treatment for liver cancer – radiofrequency ablation – can also be used to treat lung cancer. A team of European and American researchers calls for randomized controlled trials in order to more robustly investigate this minimally invasive procedure for cancer treatment.
