Biosensor technology may lead to breath test for lung cancer

by University of Texas at Dallas edited by Robert Egan  Editors’ notes Credit: Sensing and Bio-Sensing Research (2025). DOI: 10.1016/j.sbsr.2025.100815 University of Texas at Dallas researchers have developed biosensor technology that, when combined with artificial intelligence (AI), shows promise for detecting lung cancer through breath analysis. The electrochemical biosensor identifies eight volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are potential biomarkers for thoracic […]

How to double lung cancer screening rates

Multidisciplinary program reaches over 70 percent screening rate Peer-Reviewed Publication University of Rochester Medical Center Lung cancer screening might be the best-kept secret in health care today. Only about 16 percent of those who are eligible in the U.S. get screened for lung cancer, but a study coming out in NEJM Catalyst on Wednesday provides a roadmap

Lung cancer rewires immune cells in bone marrow to weaken body’s defenses

by The Mount Sinai Hospital edited by Gaby Clark, reviewed by Robert Egan   Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Lung tumors don’t just evade the immune system. They reshape it at its source. Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and collaborators report in the September 10 online issue of Nature that tumors rewire immune cells in the

More nonsmokers are getting lung cancer: Oncologist explains why

by Morayo Ogunbayo edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Andrew Zinin Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain The demographics of lung cancer change every day. The disease, which directly affects the respiratory system, has long been associated with smokers—but that is rapidly changing. “Before it was rare, but now it’s more and more,” Dr. Ioana Bonta told The Atlanta
