  4. Technology improves lung cancer diagnosis and treatments

    Lung cancer results when abnormal cell growth invades and destroys normal lung tissue. An accumulation of abnormal cells is called a tumor. As a tumor grows, it can impair lung function, resulting in breathing difficulty and decreased oxygen in the blood....

  5. PSA test: The real problem is the rush to treatment, doctor says

    The PSA test should not be a routine screen for men of any age, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force declared earlier this week. The assessment wasn&rsquo;t about saving money but was based on a review of the science on PSA screening -- what were the benefits and what were the harms?

  6. PSA test for prostate cancer should be dropped, task force says

    The PSA test should be abandoned as a prostate cancer screening tool, a government advisory panel has concluded after determining that the side effects from needless biopsies and treatments hurt many more men than are potentially helped by early detection of cancers.

  8. Guidelines limiting prostate cancer screening are widely ignored

    Guidelines limiting PSA screening for prostate cancer detection in older men are widely ignored, researchers said Tuesday, and physicians seem likely to continue to ignore them. Nearly half of all men age 75 and older receive the PSA test from doctors, despite&nbsp;a growing body of evidence that the tests do more harm than good, according to Dr. Scott E. Eggener of the University of Chicago Medical Center. The issue has been in the news lately with the report last week that 81-year-old Warren Buffett, the well-known entrepreneur, was <a href=&quot;http://www.latimes.com/health/boostershots/la-he-buffett-prostate-cancer-20120417,0,2463975.story">diagnosed with stage 1 prostate cancer</a> and would begin receiving radiation treatment for it. Because stage 1 prostate cancer is very slow-growing, an elderly man is more likely to die of some other cause before the tumor gets large enough to do any damage. Critics thus charged that Buffett should never have had a PSA test in the first place, that he definitely should not have had a biopsy for a slightly elevated PSA level, and that he should not have been treated. All three actions, critics said, are a waste of medical resources.

  9. Pair of studies may offer clarity on mammograms

    After several years of upheaval over the best way to conduct breast cancer screening, researchers are working to find clarity over when women should begin getting mammograms, how often and at what cost. A pair of new studies clears up some of the uncertainty by finding that women who have a mother or sister diagnosed with breast cancer, or those who have unusually dense breast tissue,<strong> </strong>should have their first test at age 40 and repeat the exam at least once every other year.

  10. Personalized cancer treatment: Genetic differences abound in tumors

    Patients are holding out hope that someday &mdash; soon, they hope &mdash; physicians will be able to personalize medical treatment more precisely than they&rsquo;ve been able to in the past.&nbsp; For people with cancer, this might mean taking a quick biopsy, studying the genetic profile of a tumor and then tailoring interventions &nbsp;to target the cancer effectively, with as few side effects as possible.

  11. Warren Buffett's stage 1 prostate cancer: What is it, what's next?

    Warren Buffett announced Tuesday that he has stage 1 prostate cancer and that doctors have begun treating it with radiation. Buffett is 81 and, at that age, it would be more surprising if he didn't have it. A full 80% of men older than 80 have some form of prostate cancer, according to the National Cancer Institute, but many or even most of them do not know it. Even if they do know, in many cases, the tumor is progressing so slowly that it doesn't need treatment. Instead, doctors simply monitor to make sure that it doesn't begin progressing too rapidly, a process known as watchful waiting or active surveillance.
