A new study of more than 10,000 non-smoking adults found that solid lung nodules were present in a considerable portion of study participants. Non-smokers are traditionally thought to be at low risk for lung nodules and lung cancer. The results of the study were published today in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

BOSTON - Some women with high blood pressure may be at higher risk of migraine.   Migraine sufferers are at higher risk of strokes and heart attacks, but does having risk factors for cardiovascular disease increase the risk of developing migraines?   In a new study, researchers in the Netherlands found that women with higher diastolic blood pressure, the lower number in a blood pressure reading, were 16% more likely to have migraines than women with normal diastolic blood pressure.   The same association was not observed in men, and in this study, other cardiovascular risk factors such as smoking, and diabetes were not linked to migraines.   Most experts agree, more research is needed in this area.

Thyroid cancer stages range from 1 to 4 (sometimes referred to in Roman numerals as I, II, III, and IV). Stage 4 thyroid cancer is the most serious; stage 1 is the least severe. The stage of someone's cancer is determined by the size and spread of cancer cells from a tumor's primary site, in this case, the thyroid gland.

Medically reviewed by Archana Sharma, DOMedically reviewed by Archana Sharma, DOCancer becomes metastatic when it grows and spreads from where it originally started to another part of the body. Metastatic lung cancer develops primarily in the lungs and later spreads to distant organs and tissues. It can also be referred to as advanced lung cancer or end-stage lung cancer due to the severity of symptoms and higher risk of serious complications.Lung cancer metastasis (spread) usually doesn’t occur in the early stage of the disease.
