Encouraging interim data from the world
Most lung cancers are detected when patients become symptomatic and have late-stage disease. However, recently, computed tomography (CT) screening for lung cancer has been reported to reduce lung cancer mortality. Since the National Lung Screening Trial’s results showed a 20 percent reduction in lung cancer-specific deaths in those patients who had screening performed with chest […]
More effective detection and diagnosis of oral cancer could result from an advance in non-invasive imaging of epithelial tissue by a Texas A&M University researcher who says her research has the potential to change the way doctors initially look for pre-cancerous and cancerous areas in a patient
New research has found a small increase in cancer risk following exposure to CT scans in children and young people. The study used anonymised medical records for 11 million young Australians, including 680,000 who were exposed to CT scans between 1985 and 2005. The Australian researchers, with colleagues at Oxford University and the International Agency […]
New research from the University of Southampton shows that copper and copper alloys will rapidly destroy norovirus
The diagnosis of death is not always clear-cut, doctors say. How easy is it to diagnose death? There needs to be international agreement on when and how death is diagnosed, two leading doctors suggest. At a European meeting of anaesthetists they said improvements in technology mean the line between life and death is less clear. […]
Stroke patients at risk of blood clots and death could be helped by a compression device that wraps around the legs. Researchers have shown for the first time that by gently squeezing the legs, the risk of dying after stroke is reduced. It is thought that the compression reduces the risk of clots in the […]
Measuring blood flow in the brain may be an easy, non-invasive way to predict stroke or haemorrhage in children receiving cardiac or respiratory support through a machine called ECMO, according to a new study by researchers at Nationwide Children
A group of oncologists have revealed in a new study by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) researchers that communicating about death and dying with their patients is one of the most difficult and stressful parts of their work. In the United States, 577,190 deaths from cancer occurred in 2012, according to the American Cancer […]
