Researchers at Michigan State University explored bees' olfactory system and their potential to detect lung cancer. They conducted an experiment to test if honeybees could successfully identify lung cancer biomarkers, also known as volatile organic compounds, in human breath samples. Their study showed that honeybees can be trained to accurately distinguish healthy cells and various types of lung cancer cells. These findings show promising results that honeybees may be able to offer a non-invasive method of early screening and detection of lung cancer.

Finding organizations and sending donations is relatively easy. Once the payment has been sent, where does it go? Monetary gifts to lung cancer organizations serve a wide range of purposes, from research to education and advocacy.
When lung cancer develops into stage 3, it has begun to spread beyond the original site. Medical professionals refer to this period as an advanced stage of lung cancer. Many people wonder though - is stage 3 lung cancer curable?
Henlius Small-Cell Lung Cancer Clinical Trial Meets Primary Endpoint
By Rachel Ernst |
In a Phase 3 small-cell lung cancer clinical trial in China, Shanghai Henliu Biotech, Inc. announced that the study met its primary endpoint. The study, assessing the use of first-line PD-1 inhibitor serplulimab plus chemotherapy in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), indicated the combination improved the overall survival of participants. The successful results mean the study’s primary endpoint has been met.
