If you are — or were — a long-time smoker, you may be wondering if lung cancer screening is right for you. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death, largely because patients usually don’t find ...
Engineers and scientists have developed proof of concept for a robot that can reach some of the smallest bronchial tubes in the lungs -- to take tissue samples or deliver cancer therapy. Known as a ...
No longer will surgeons be flying blind while performing biopsies of peripheral lung nodules—at least, not if Mauna Kea Technologies and Johnson & Johnson’s Lung Cancer Initiative have anything to say ...
Lung cancer sometimes spreads to the airways that bring oxygen into your lungs, causing the airways to narrow or get blocked. When this happens, it's hard for your lungs to fully expand when you ...
A new feeding tube being developed by a University of Utah startup company would prevent placement of the feeding tube in the lungs, which often results in death, according to a news release from the ...
