The deadliest form of cancer Keys To Surviving Lung Cancer Last
Updated: 194 days ago More people in the United States die from
lung cancer than any other type of cancer. It's true for both
men and women. Lung cancer is responsible for more deaths than
breast cancer, colon cancer and prostate cancer combined. It is
almost always a fatal disease and by the time symptoms arise it
is too late. The key with lung cancer, as with all cancers, is
early detection. National Jewish Health and Dr. Jeffrey Kern are
engaged in several research projects that aim to improve lung
cancer diagnosis in early stages. In one trial, National Jewish
Health researchers are seeking to refine and improve lung-cancer
screening by combining a blood test with CT imaging to detect
disease earlier and more effectively. In another, they are
working to identify exactly what dogs smell in a cancer
