			Machine learning program could distinguish between two lung cancer types A new computer program can analyze images of patients' lung tumors, specify cancer types, and even identify altered genes driving abnormal cell growth, a new study shows.

			Innovative procedure could provide breakthrough in treating early-stage lung cancer A new minimally invasive surgery could provide a breakthrough in treating early-stage lung cancer, based on a review of some of the first patients to receive the procedure.

	Scientists predict how well the body will fight lung cancer by analyzing immune cell shapes Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have discovered how to quickly and accurately predict which lung cancer patients will benefit from chemotherapy by analyzing how immune cells the body sends out to fight the disease are arranged.

	Hybrid operating room enables faster diagnosis, treatment of patients with lung cancer Representing a paradigm shift in thoracic surgery, the hybrid operating room combines three techniques into a single appointment eliminating multiple clinical visits for improved patient experience and outcomes.

	Study highlights need for measures to improve annual lung cancer screening adherence A study from the Thoracic Oncology Research Group, Division of Pulmonary Critical Care, Medical University of South Carolina aimed to examine the adherence to annual low-dose computed tomography screening after baselines LDCT within the Veteran Health Administration Lung Cancer Screening Demonstration Project.

	Study shows adherence to annual lung cancer screening is not optimal A study from the Thoracic Oncology Research Group (TORG), Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, Medical University of South Carolina, aimed to examine the adherence to annual low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening after baseline LDCT within the Veteran Health Administration Lung Cancer Screening Demonstration Project (LCDSDP).

	New blood test may detect early-stage lung cancer when surgical intervention is not possible Non-small-cell lung carcinoma is often fatal because most cases are not diagnosed until they are so advanced that surgical intervention is no longer possible. To improve outcomes researchers are developing a blood test to detect lung cancer earlier in the disease.
