Patients with prevalent central airway obstruction at diagnosis with lung cancer may have higher mortality rates than patients without central airway obstruction.
Smoking Cessation Program in Cancer Setting Associated With High Abstinence Rates
In a prospective cohort of smokers, the availability of comprehensive tobacco treatment in the oncology setting was associated with sustained high abstinence rates among patients with cancer and cancer survivors.
Imaging, Diagnostic Procedure Rates Low After LDCT Screening for Lung Cancer
In a commercially insured population of patients, rates of subsequent testing, including imaging and diagnostic procedures, following lung cancer screening with the use of low-dose computed tomography are low.
Early Palliative Care May Improve Survival in Advanced Lung Cancer
Specialist-delivered palliative care may improve survival outcomes in patients with advanced lung cancer.

BCG vaccination in childhood was associated with a reduced risk of lung cancer development in American Indian and Alaska Native populations.
Electronic Nose Analysis May Predict Response to Anti-PD-1 Therapy in NSCLC
Initial breath analysis predicted individual treatment response to anti-PD-1 therapy at 3 months.
Antibiotic Use May Affect Lung Cancer Survival When Treated With Pembrolizumab
