Dr. Joshua K. Sabari explains how surgery, radiation and therapy may reduce lung capacity and shares steps survivors can take to protect their breathing health. In a recent video interview, Dr. Joshua ...

Pulmonary function tests (PFTs), also called lung function tests, are some of the most important, but least understood, tools healthcare providers use to evaluate lung health. Though many people have ...

Large cell carcinoma is aggressive, requiring early detection through imaging and biopsy for optimal treatment outcomes. Treatment strategies vary by stage, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human lung-on-chip model using stem cells taken from only one person. These chips simulate breathing motions and lung ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human ‘lung-on-chip’ model using stem cells taken from only one person. These chips simulate breathing motions and lung ...

To evaluate and compare the predictive performance of machine learning methods using clinical-semantic, radiomic, and combined features in distinguishing squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) from ...

In a phase 2 trial, the addition of pirfenidone to standard glucocorticoids improved pulmonary function, fibrosis, and cough symptoms in patients with grades 2-3 radiation-induced lung injury. This ...

Pulmonary fibrosis—also known in technical terms as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)—is a rare but life-threatening disease. It causes scarring of the connective tissue between the functional ...

Results of the cross-sectional study showed that impaired lung function was associated with an increased risk for spondyloarthritis. Impaired lung function — particularly preserved ratio impaired ...

The lung lymphatics are formed from lymphatic endothelial cells and play a pivotal role in lung fluid homeostasis and immune trafficking. Though blood vascular function in the lung has long been an ...

GRI-0621, an experimental oral therapy for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), may stabilize lung function, according to an interim analysis of an ongoing Phase 2a study. “The FVC data after 6 weeks ...
