When lung cancer spreads beyond the lungs, it usually first affects nearby lymph nodes. But doctors don’t usually consider lung cancer to be “metastatic” until it has spread to more distant parts of the body. Lung cancer can spread throughout the body in several ways. Cancerous cells...

Certain nucleosides impede the replication of tumor cells as a step toward preventing cancer. When individuals consume food, they also ingest nucleic acids found in all living organisms. According to research published in PLOS ONE by Associate Professor Akiko Kojima-Yuasa of Osaka Metropolitan University’s Graduate School of Human Life and Ecology and her colleagues, the compounds in these acids may have the potential to inhibit the growth of cancer cells.

Melanoma is not as common as other types of skin cancer. However, unlike other skin cancers, melanoma has a high risk of spreading to other areas, which makes it the most dangerous type.

Adrenal cancer is a rare but serious condition that affects the adrenal glands, which sit atop your kidneys. These glands produce hormones that regulate metabolism, immune system, blood pressure, and other essential functions. Adrenal cancer can disrupt these processes, leading to a variety of symptoms and complications. Understanding this disease is crucial for early detection and treatment. In this post, we'll share 25 facts about adrenal cancer to help you grasp its impact, symptoms, and treatment options. From the basics of what adrenal glands do to the latest advancements in medical research, you'll gain a comprehensive overview of this challenging condition.

Lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, taking 1.8 million lives annually. Traditionally combated using surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, survival rates have improved. But now, a new vaccine is looking to stop the cancer by harnessing the body's immune system. Trials for the world's first lung cancer vaccine have started in 34 research centers across seven countries.

Medically reviewed by Marla Anderson, MDMedically reviewed by Marla Anderson, MDNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a type of cancer that begins in the tissues of the lungs. About 80-85% of all lung cancer cases in the United States are classified as NSCLC. NSCLC occurs when the cells that line the surface of the lung airways change and mutate. When these abnormal cells rapidly divide and multiply, they lead to cancer. The most common cause of NSCLC is smoking, with about 90% of lung cancer cases being related to tobacco smoke exposure. It is possible to be diagnosed with NSCLC if you...
