Doctors diagnose 173,000 cases of lung cancer in patients each year, 95% of whom will die from it--more than from breast, prostate and colon cancer combined. But New York--Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center researchers found that low-dose, spiral-computed-tomography (CT) screening drastically improved the odds. In a study of 31,567 people, annual CT screening (about 600 images per scan) detected Stage 1 lung cancer in 412 patients, and when the cancer was surgically removed within one month of diagnosis, their 10-year survival rate was an impressive...

...benefits of the chambers, which basically pump a high concentration of oxygen into patients under deep-sea pressures. The pure oxygen flows into the bloodstream, helping with wounds that might otherwise be difficult or impossible to heal, says Dr. Jeff Stone, medical director at the Hyperbaric Medicine Unit at Presbyterian Hospital's Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine in Dallas. The chambers have helped diabetics, cancer victims and people suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning. And sports? "It's a very interesting field, but we need research before the efficacy is known," Stone said. He's never had Owens...
...percent of those who have received the online survey have responded. As an incentive for completion, study participants can vote for one of four groups that will receive a $10,000 donation, a feature that Daniel L. Bowles ’81, the chief operating officer of a Presbyterian church, found “intriguing” but was not the reason he filled out his survey. The survey will be published at the end of this academic year. —Staff writer Lulu Zhou can be reached at luluzhou@fas.harvard.edu...
