Despite good initial response to chemotherapy, small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) has a poor prognosis. Therefore, it is important to identify molecular markers that might influence survival and may serve as potential therapeutic targets. The review aims to summarize the current knowledge of serum biomarkers in SCLC to improve diagnostic efficiency in the detection of tumor progression in lung cancer. The current knowledge on the known serum cytokines and tumor biomarkers of SCLC is emphasized. Recent findings in the search for novel diagnostic and therapeutic molecular markers using the emerging genomic technology for detecting lung cancer are also described. It is believed that implementing these new research technologies will facilitate and improve early detection, prognostication and better treatment of SCLC. Published by Terms and conditions

165. Environmental Tobacco Smoke Focus is on lung cancer caused by secondhand smoke. http://www.meds.com/lung/smoking/environmental.html

Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is the combination of two forms of smoke from burning tobacco products: Sidestream smoke, or smoke that is emitted between the puffs of a burning cigarette, pipe, or cigar, and Mainstream smoke, or the smoke that is exhaled by the smoker. When a cigarette is smoked, about one-half of the smoke generated is sidestream smoke. This form of smoke contains essentially all of the same carcinogenic (cancer-causing) and toxic agents that have been identified in the mainstream smoke inhaled by the smoker, but at greater levels. More than 4,000 individual compounds have been identified in tobacco and tobacco smoke. Among these are about 60 compounds that are carcinogens, tumor initiators (substances that can result in irreversible changes in normal cells), and tumor promoters (substances that can lead to tumor growth once cell changes begin). Some of these compounds are tar, carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, phenols, ammonia, formaldehyde, benzene, nitrosamine, and nicotine. The exposure of nonsmokers to ETS is referred to as involuntary smoking, passive smoking, and secondhand smoke. Nonsmokers who are exposed to ETS absorb nicotine and other compounds just as smokers do, and the greater the exposure to ETS, the greater the level of these harmful compounds in the body.

Canadian Online Pharmacies Canada Pharmacy Canadian Mail Order Pharmacies Healthcare professionals and scientists have carefully prepared this ALtruis Biomedical Network-affiliated site, intended for informational purposes only Partners: Risk Factors Prevention Diagnosis Treatment Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in both men and women. About 13% of all new cancer diagnoses are lung cancer. Lung cancer accounts for 28% of all cancer deaths. More people die of lung cancer than colon breast and prostate cancer combined. Most diagnoses are in people over the age of 40 with the average age being 60. Lung cancer may appear in the trachea, alveoli or other parts of the respiratory tree. It is a largely preventable but deadly form of cancer . The one year survival rate is 41% and the 5 year survival rate is 14%. Catching the cancer early before it has spread to lymph nodes increases the 5-year survival rate to 42%. However, less than 20% of lung cancers are diagnosed this early. Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) About 20% of all lung cancers are small cell cancers that are almost always caused by smoking. These cancers are composed of small dark cells that grow rapidly and metastasize (spread) early.

American Heart and Lung Institute's OVERVIEW about CANCER OF THE ESOPHAGUS While the exact cause(s) of cancer of the esophagus is not known, risk factors have been identified. The risk of cancer of the esophagus is increased by long-term irritation of the esophagus, such as with smoking, heavy alcohol intake, and Barrett's esophagitis. Diagnosis of cancer of the esophagus can be made by barium x-ray of the esophagus, and confirmed by endoscopy with biopsy of the cancer tissue. Cancer of the esophagus can cause difficulty and pain with swallowing solid food. Treatment of cancer of the esophagus depends on the size, location, and the extent of cancer spread, as well as the age and health of the patient. What is the esophagus? The esophagus, part of the digestive tract, is a tube that connects the throat with the stomach. It lies between the trachea (windpipe) and the spine. In an adult, the esophagus is about 10 inches long. When a person swallows, the muscular walls of the esophagus contract to push food down into the stomach. Glands in the lining of the esophagus produce mucus, which keeps the passageway moist and makes swallowing easier.

172. A Patient's Guide To Choosing Unconventional Therapies The Canadian cancer Society and Canadian lung Association provide questions for the public to consider when exploring the use of alternative and complementary medical systems. http://www.lung.ca/unconventional/

A Patient's Guide to choosing . . . Unconventional Therapies Unconventional therapies (UTs) are therapies not usually provided by Canadian physicians or other conventionally trained health care providers. Examples of common UTs available in Canada are herbal preparations, reflexology, acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. UTs may be used along with conventional therapies (i.e. complementary therapy ) or instead of conventional therapies (i.e. alternative therapy ). Surveys have shown that many Canadians use UTs, usually as complementary therapies, for a wide range of diseases and conditions. Reliable information about UTs is often difficult to find. Your doctor may be unable to give you specific advice or recommendations, since UTs are often not in a physician’s area of expertise. However, he or she will usually be able to provide some general advice and help supervise your progress. For your own health and safety, it is important to keep your doctor informed of the choices you make. This document is intended to provide you with questions to consider when making your treatment choices help you find information about UTs

Cancer Cardiovascular Diabetes Osteoporosis Pelvic Health Pregnancy Sexual Health Cancer isn't one disease, but a group of diseases, which cause cells in the body to change and grow out of control. Most types of cancer cells form a lump or mass called a tumour. Only a few cancers don't form a tumour, such as blood cancers (leukemia). Cells from a tumour can break away and travel to other parts of the body and, from there, continue to grow. This spreading is called metastasis. When cancer spreads - for instance, if breast cancer spreads to the lungs - it is still named after the part of the body where it originated. In this case, it is still breast cancer, not lung cancer. A cancerous tumour is called a malignant tumour. Tumours, however, are not all cancerous. Tumours that are not cancerous are called benign. In most cases, benign tumours are not life threatening, and do not grow and spread the way cancer does. Cancer Health Centres Last Updated: May 1, 2003

by Kevin T. Kavanagh, MD www.entusa.com About The Author Española Traducción Tobacco use and smoking are very dangerous addictions which commonly cause a wide variety of diseases, cancer and death. The vast majority of tobacco users and smokers are hooked when they are children. During this time period they are easily influenced by peer pressure and advertising. Once hooked, the majority of tobacco users become hopelessly addicted. More than 5 million children living today will die prematurely because of a decision they will make as adolescents-the decision to use tobacco and smoke cigarettes.

A working group from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is part of the World Health Organization, examined all of the major studies looking at smoking and cancer. After a five-day meeting in Lyons, France, this week, they suggested non-smokers who are exposed to second-hand smoke are between 20% and 30% more likely to develop lung cancer. Passive smoking is quite clearly more than just the nuisance many of the world's tobacco companies would have us believe Marsha Williams, ASH The experts also found cancers of the stomach, liver, uterus, cervix, kidney and myeloid leukaemia could be caused in part by smoking. The group of 29 experts from 12 countries found second-hand tobacco smoke was carcinogenic to humans and that typical levels of passive exposure have been shown to cause lung cancer among people who have never smoked.
