Lung Cancer Screening is Still Woefully Low in the US, Report Shows

A recent report published by the American Lung Association shows that only a tiny fraction of Americans that are eligible for lung cancer screening undergo the needed screening. This is despite the fact that lung cancer accounts for 20% of all deaths in America attributed to cancer. Deaths due to lung cancer exceed the combined fatalities due to prostate, breast and colon cancer. These statistics would warrant greater rates of lung cancer screening, but on average, just a paltry 5.8% of individuals in America that should get screened actually undergo screening for this cancer, according to the ALA report. In…

Approximately 20% of people in the U.S. live in a rural area, and they face unique health challenges, such as higher rates of diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure. The recent changes to health care funding brought by the Big Beautiful Bill signed into law in early July are likely to impact rural areas adversely. Kimberly MacPherson, a health policy lecturer at UC Berkeley, highlights how rural health will be impacted. She says the rates of individuals on Medicaid are generally higher in rural areas, so the cuts to funding are bound to have a disproportionate impact upon these people.…

What Patients Need to Know About the Remission Rate of Glioblastomas

Patients are overwhelmed when they are diagnosed with glioblastoma, the most deadly primary brain cancer. It resists existing treatments and recurs in all patients, with a relatively short survival time averaging 14-18 months. Understanding the rate of remission for this disease can therefore enable patients and their caregivers to have a clear picture of what to expect, and therefore be guided in making any decisions they need to make. We discuss some of the factors influencing remission in GBM. It is important to note that GBM tumors almost always regrow, so remission in this case should be viewed as the…

Soligenix Inc. (NASDAQ: SNGX) Research Highlights Breakthrough in High-Temperature Vaccine Stability

Thermostable vaccine technology is considered a significant unmet need in epidemic preparedness. Soligenix has been developing formulations intended to remain stable even when stored for extended periods at temperatures above 40°C. Soligenix’s ThermoVax(R) technology has broad applicability in Emerging Infectious Disease. Current vaccines for Ebola and similar filoviruses face a major deployment barrier: Most require storage between 2°C and 8°C throughout transport, making them vulnerable to spoilage when exposed to the high ambient heat common in many outbreak regions (https://ibn.fm/MZWfk). Soligenix (NASDAQ: SNGX), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in biodefense and rare disease vaccines, has published a peer-reviewed summary of new…

New LED Therapy Kills Cancer Cells While Sparing Healthy Tissues

Many existing cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation, don’t distinguish between cancer cells and healthy body cells, and the healthy cells killed alongside cancer cells result in harsh side effects. Researchers are constantly looking for new treatments that are better able to target cancer cells while leaving healthy cells untouched. A new study seems to have uncovered a therapy that could do just that. The study, conducted through a collaboration between a team at University of Texas, Austin, and another team at the University of Porto, Portugal, leveraged a combination of using nano-sized tin particles together with LED light.…

For their study, the researchers obtained data on inpatient and emergency department visits…
