Diagnosing early-stage lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography (CT) screening drastically improves its cure rate measured over a 20-year period, according to a large-scale international study by Mount Sinai researchers published in Radiology.

After two decades, lung cancer-specific survival remained at 81% in I-ELCAP program

The USPSTF concluded that the current evidence was insufficient for assessing the balance of benefits and harms of screening for oral health conditions performed by primary care clinicians.

Clinicians should use their best judgment until clear guidelines emerge for promoting oral health, the US Preventive Services Task Force said.

Nearly 5 million additional people are recommended to get screened for lung cancer under an updated guideline from the American Cancer Society.

Although it would seem that earlier prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) screening could reduce the risk of fatal prostate cancer in Black men, new research published by Wiley online in CANCER indicates that at any given PSA level, Black men are more likely to harbor prostate cancer than white men, indicating that they may face an increased risk of prostate cancer than white men at lower PSA levels.

In 2016, Kokomo resident Matt Barlow didn’t know what was happening to his body.

At the same PSA level, Black men are more likely to have prostate cancer than white men. Findings indicate the importance of earlier and more frequent prostate cancer screening for Black men.
