Lung cancer screening is one of the simplest tools available in cancer care, yet it remains widely underused. A low-dose CT scan takes just a few minutes and can detect lung cancer at its earliest and most treatable stages. Jim Pantelas is a Navy Veteran and a 20 plus year lung cancer survivor. He was diagnosed with stage 3B lung cancer at age 52, back when lung cancer screening was not available. Today, he is joining Dr. Drew Moghanaki, a thoracic oncology leader and VA physician, to deliver a clear message to Veterans and anyone with a smoking history. Get screened. Every year. Key Topics Discussed: How lung cancer can grow with no symptoms until it is advanced Why Veterans may face higher risk from airborne hazards and toxic exposures What screening is like and why it takes less than three minutes Why annual screening matters, not just one scan How early detection expands treatment options and improves outcomes How to access screening through the VA or through civilian healthcare Why screening is covered and cost should not stop you Featured Guests: Jim Pantelas, Navy Veteran, 20 plus Year Lung Cancer Survivor Dr. Drew Moghanaki, UCLA and VA Thoracic Oncology Leader Key Takeaway: Lung cancer is curable when caught early. If you are eligible, start screening at 50 and go every year.

Collaboration between interventional radiology and radiation oncology has enabled high-dose brachytherapy in central lung lesions that were previously untreatable. This episode of the 2025 NSCLC Creator Weekend™ series offers a deep dive into recent advancements in lung ablation and brachytherapy techniques for primary lung cancer. --- This podcast is supported by an educational grant from Johnson & Johnson and Varian. --- SYNPOSIS Key discussion points include ablation zone sizes, confirmation methods for effective treatment, and the integration of different modalities such as microwave and cryoablation. Our tumor board panel also explores the practical and logistic challenges of implementing high-dose brachytherapy, especially for central lesions, and its role in palliative care. Despite the intricate processes and potential complications like pneumothorax, these methods show promising local control rates and provide crucial options for non-operative candidates. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction and Overview of Lung Ablation07:01 - Microwave Ablation and Ground Glass Attenuation17:53 - Artificial Pneumothorax Techniques27:09 - Technical Aspects and Innovations32:35 - Bronchial Brachytherapy Techniques37:47 - Conclusion and Credits --- RESOURCES 2021 Central Lesion Studyhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8186067/

This bonus content is a reading from Platypus, the CASTAC Blog. The full post by Chen Shen can be read at https://blog.castac.org/2025/12/the-lung-tumor-we-know-exists-yet-that-we-cannot-see/. About the post: “The lung tumor we know exists yet that we cannot see” is a found footage essay film that assembles publicly available medical materials and original footage to explore how lung cancer is rendered visible—and remains invisible—through clinical regimes, and to reflect on how visibility operates as an epistemic practice that might be mobilized otherwise.

Dry needling is common around the NFL, and players aren't worried despite T.J. Watt's collapsed lung. Correspondent Gethin Coolbaugh reports.

 Lung cancer is commonly associated with smoking. However, among people diagnosed with lung cancer, the proportion who have never smoked has been increasing, and there are many reasons why a person who has never smoked may develop this disease. Lori Sakoda, PhD, MPH, ATSF, a research scientist and epidemiologist at Kaiser Permanente Northern California, explains what factors may come into play, what the ongoing research shows, and what knowledge gaps exist on this topic. Patti Tripathi hosts. 

T.J. Watt had a dry needling session that resulted in a partially collapsed lung. Was this someone from the team or an outside practitioner? Tom Pelissero said the Steelers are hopeful that Watt could be back for the Lions game, but Ian Rapaport is less optimistic.

Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: How do you feel about the Steelers' chances against the Dolphins? It's going to feel like 0 degrees. The Chiefs have officially been eliminated from playoff contention. What team do you trust the most in the AFC? T.J. Watt had a dry needling session that resulted in a partially collapsed lung and won't play against the Dolphins.

In this hour, Steelers insider Mark Kaboly comes on with Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson to talk through more information regarding LB T.J. Watt's recent lung injury. Also, is there any shame in not wanting to go to cold football games at outdoor stadiums? December 15, 2025, 8:00 Hour

Mark and Tommy Radio talk about Tristan Jarry getting traded and the latest on TJ Watt.

This week, we're covering the issues that really matter: why kids today will never know the lung-shredding character development that came from using a BloPen head-marker-gun. Back in our day, your art wasn't “digital”—it was created by nearly passing out on a piece of printer paper. Now the markers basically airbrush themselves. How will Gen Alpha ever build lung capacity? Or personality?We also dive into the existential crisis known as Apple Music and Spotify Wrapped—the annual reminder that your most-played songs say far too much about you, and none of it is flattering.Then we ask the question every office worker trapped in a freezing parking lot is wondering: why hasn't a car company invented scheduled remote start like “turn on my heat at 4:55 PM so I can pretend I'm not suffering”? Tech has gone too far in all the wrong directions.And finally, we address the true holiday mystery: how big of a contradiction is it that Mariah Carey opens “All I Want for Christmas Is You” by claiming she doesn't want a lot for Christmas… and then immediately demands an entire human being? Seems like a pretty big “lot,” Mariah.

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death in Virginia, and some communities in Hampton Roads — including nearby rural areas — face persistent challenges in diagnosis and access to specialty care.

Earlier this year my father-in-law was hospitalized with what the doctors loosely labeled as COPD—trouble breathing, fluid in the lungs, inflammation, all the scary stuff that makes you realize how fragile life can be. When he finally got home from the hospital, I put him on a very specific peptide stack designed for deep respiratory repair, and the results were nothing short of incredible.That experience inspired today's episode. I walk you through the exact peptide stack we used to regenerate lung tissue, modulate inflammation, and get him back on his feet WAY faster than the standard prognosis. We're talking about Bronchogen, Chonluten, VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide), TB-500, and GHK-Cu—each of them working on different mechanistic pathways ranging from DNA-level gene expression to immune modulation to fibrosis prevention.You'll hear the science, the clinical evidence, the dosing, and—maybe most importantly—why this stack worked so well for a real human being in a real crisis. And yes, even if you're “healthy,” these peptides have profound regenerative and anti-aging properties for the lungs that make them worth understanding.Chronic respiratory disease is the third leading cause of death worldwide. Over 454 million people suffer from lung-related conditions. And when you see those numbers—and then see firsthand how quickly lung tissue can repair with the right tools—you start to understand why peptide-based regenerative medicine is the future.Whether you're dealing with COPD, bronchitis, long-haul viral issues, inflammation, fibrosis, smoker's lungs, or you simply want to bulletproof your respiratory system as you age… this episode is for you.As always, make sure you're on my email list so you stay connected no matter what platform bans me next. That's where all my best content lives, including updates when I release episodes like this one.I'm so grateful for each and every one of you who listens, comments, uses my codes, and shares this work.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide and is classified into two main types: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which accounts for most cases and the more aggressive small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Early detection is crucial for improving outcomes, but symptoms often emerge late in the disease course. In episode 126, Dr Hannah Rosa looked at the challenges of diagnosis, reviewed guidelines and latest research and discussed when to continue investigations after a normal chest X-ray. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson gives an overview of detecting lung cancer in primary care and looks at treatment – including newer options for some late-stage cancers.Access episode show notes containing key references and take-home points at: https://gpnotebook.com/en-GB/podcasts/oncology/ep-185-lung-cancer.Did you know?

Stories on lung organoids and autism were some of the most read this week. We kicked things off by digging into recent breakthroughs in both areas including an automated method for manufacturing iPSC-derived lung organoids and how a combination of supplements reduced autism-linked behaviors in mice. Still on the topic of new research, we discussed how a protein in the extracellular matrix helps muscle stem cells repair aging muscles. In business news, the bidding war between Lundbeck and Alkermes over Avadel Pharmaceuticals has ended. We talk about the possible implications of Lundbeck's decision to back out and next steps for Alkermes. Then we dive into Protego Biopharma's recent fundraising round, and efforts to develop small-molecule pharmacological chaperones that modulate protein stability in disease.

Lung cancer is the third most common cancer in the U.S. It's caused by harmful cells in your lungs growing unchecked. Treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and targeted drugs. Screening is recommended if you're at high risk. Advances in treatments have caused a significant decline in lung cancer deaths in recent years. ​ Lung cancer is a disease caused by uncontrolled cell division in your lungs. Your cells divide and make more copies of themselves as a part of their normal function. But sometimes, they get changes (mutations) that cause them to keep making more of themselves when they shouldn't. Damaged cells dividing uncontrollably create masses, or tumors, of tissue that eventually keep your organs from working properly. Lung cancer is the name for cancers that start in your lungs — usually in the airways (bronchi or bronchioles) or small air sacs (alveoli). Cancers that start in other places and move to your lungs are usually named for where they start (your healthcare provider may refer to this as cancer that's metastatic to your lungs). ​ There are many cancers that affect the lungs, but we usually use the term "lung cancer" for two main kinds: non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer.  Other types of cancer can start in or around your lungs, including lymphomas (cancer in your lymph nodes), sarcomas (cancer in your bones or soft tissue) and pleural mesothelioma (cancer in the lining of your lungs). These are treated differently and usually aren't referred to as lung cancer.  (CREDITS: Cleveland Clinic)

Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer in Ireland with an estimated 1900 deaths per annum and its the second most common cancer in Ireland for women. While many associate this type of cancer with smokers, one in five diagnosed people have never smoked in their lives. One of these people is Susan Leatham who was diagnosed in 2021 and Susan spoke to Pat this morning along with Helen Forristal, Director of Nursing with the Marie Keating Foundation.

Send us a textThis discussion features Dr. Clyde Wright, Professor of Pediatrics at Children's Hospital Colorado and the University of Colorado School of Medicine, who studies perinatal innate immunity and neonatal lung injury. He highlights the rapid rise of acetaminophen as the most commonly used medication for ductal closure in preterm infants despite limited long-term safety data. Dr. Wright explains how acetaminophen metabolism via CYP2E1 produces a reactive metabolite that may affect mitochondrial function in developing lung cells, prompting consideration beyond hepatic toxicity markers. He encourages clinicians to remain judicious, especially outside optimal treatment windows, and calls for research incorporating respiratory outcomes and nuanced, individualized risk–benefit discussions at the bedside.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

Early detection saves lives, but today's tools are often invasive, slow, or used too late. In this episode, Breath Diagnostics CEO Ivan Lo explains how a non-invasive breath test can detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs) associated with disease—positioning breath as a first-line screen for early-stage lung cancer and potentially pneumonia and TB. We cover the science (why breath can capture near real-time biological change), sensitivity/specificity signals from 800+ patients, and a go-to-market/regulatory plan that prioritizes post-op pneumonia (shorter trials, no entrenched standard of care) before lung cancer screening. We also discuss platform economics (low-cost disposables, existing LC-MS infrastructure), trial scale and cost, and how breath could support ongoing monitoring after treatment. Investors get a clear view of timelines, risks, and upside; founders get lessons on platform positioning, capital efficiency, and sequencing indications. Highlights include...Why breath (VOCs) can surface disease signals minutes–hours after biological changeFirst-line screening thesis vs. liquid biopsy and CT workflowsEarly data: ~94% sensitivity / 85% specificity across 800+ patients (lung cancer context)Regulatory path: post-op pneumonia first (faster FDA route), lung cancer nextUnit economics: low-cost cartridge + existing LC-MS labs (hub-and-spoke)Clinical design: trial scale, costs, and companion-diagnostic “cocktail” potentialPlatform beyond oncology: pneumonia, TB, inflammation, RUO for pharmaChapters00:00 Intro & why early detection needs a rethink00:47 What Breath Diagnostics does (the “breath bag”)03:34 VOCs 101: why breath can be earlier than blood06:41 First-line screen vs. confirmatory tests08:19 Will this be ubiquitous at annual visits?11:53 Commercialization path & funding realities12:37 Pneumonia first: faster FDA route14:09 Lung cancer timeline & business model15:34 Hospital economics & pneumonia savings18:24 Trial scale/costs; disposable chip economics20:34 Team, funding strategy, and sequencing22:08 Early data and a “false negative” biopsy case24:12 TAM & eligibility (20M Americans qualify)25:06 What success looks like (2–3 years)27:00 Investor closing thoughts

This new mini-series on Behind the Knife will delve into the technical aspects of the Operative Standards for Cancer Surgery, developed through the American College of Surgeons Cancer Research Program. This first episode highlights the colon cancer operative standard. Hosts: Timothy Vreeland, MD, FACS (@vreelant) is an Assistant Professor of Surgery at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and Surgical Oncologist at Brooke Army Medical Center Lexy (Alexandra) Adams, MD, MPH (@lexyadams16) is a Surgical Oncology fellow at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Guest: George Chang, MD, MS, MHCM, FACS, FASCRS, FSSO is a Professor and the interim Department Chair in the Department of Colon and Rectal Surgery at MD Anderson Cancer Center.   Learning Objectives: The extent of colon mobilization and resection depends on tumor location, with high vascular ligation of the tumor-bearing segment to complete adequate regional lymphadenectomy. The technical steps of right colectomy are reviewed, including high ligation of the ileocolic pedicle at the level of the superior mesenteric vein, and the right branch of the middle colic artery if present. Tips and tricks are discussed to identify vascular structures and avoid central vascular injury.

Lung cancer in nonsmoking individuals is increasing worldwide and currently accounts for 15% to 20% of lung cancer cases globally. Benjamin Solomon, PhD, of the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne, Australia, discusses the epidemiology and treatment of lung cancer in nonsmoking patients with JAMA Deputy Editor Kristin Walter, MD, MS.

Viral pneumonia can cause severe lung damage and make recovery long and life-threatening for patients. Current treatments only provide support, not repair, but Northwestern Medicine scientist Benjamin Singer, MD, wants to change that. In this episode, he details a recent discovery from his team that found laboratory-modified T-cells or induced regulatory T-cells (iTregs), can promote lung tissue repair in mice with severe influenza pneumonia. Singer discusses this breakthrough and how it could lead to an effective cellular therapy for patients with severe viral pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome in the future. 

Where did you go Joe DiMaio? And Katt Stevens, whatever happened to him after he gave up secular music and started performing on BET ComicView? Peanut oil vapes come in handy when you need to ensure your child never develops a peanut allergy that excludes them from dinner at a Norwegian style household. Dog oil works on the same principle.
