There is a blood test that is calles CA-125. It does not detect lung cancer per say, but cancer in general.

I believe there are known cures of cancers and they are being held back.how can we study a disease for 30 years or more and not have a cure. why because too many people and big corps are making a fortune off of this killing disease.

A whole lot of things!  But it starts with research.\n\nI did a project on the bionic eye, which was a computer that linked directly to the visual cortex and a set of glasses.  It was awesome...the person, blind from birth, could see black and white dots, representing locations, but could not judge depth perception.\n\nI suppose biomedical engineering is going to be used for saving people's lives, like with nanotechnology.  In the works are nano computers that can enter the bloodstream and work as super-white blood cells, for example.  Other uses will be for early detection and diagnosis.  As well, there will be treatments for existing diseases, and hopefully a cure for cancer.\n\nOther possible topics for the future of BM Engin. could be the construction and easy use and application of huge bulky machines, like MRI machines.  There is also the idea of radiation treatment either being improved for precision and accuracy, or if that still is too dangerous it could be replaced by "safer" radiation or no radiatino at all.\n\nGood luck!

yes and a number of other things\nlike lung cancer\ncheck it out

I actually just heard about this. There is a place that trains dogs to sniff out cancers. It sounds kinda strange, but they stated that some dogs had done this without any training.

Try checking out http://nci.nih.gov/, or perhaps contact the American Cancer Society at www.cancer.org

Diabetes is presently the #1 topic of research other than 'cancer' and as cancer is a vague term you may consider diabetes as the #1 topic.  The incidence of obesity and diabetes is rapidly increasing and this is in large part responsible for research interest.  Research follows a money trail and where a drug company smells money the offer research money.  It is true that the treatment of diabetes has improved dramatically in the past 5 years and the next 5 years are expected to be exciting as well.

There is no doubt that medical technology will continue to advance. But it is likely that the law of diminishing returns will (or maybe has) limit the improvements that such technology will bring to any patient or humankind overall.\n\nWhilst we still have rampant infective diseases such as Malaria and Tuberculosis decimating 3rd world countries and entire generations dying from malnutrition, we need to ask ourselves if gadgets that bring a little bit of extra function to a small number of people are really progress, or perhaps just ignorance?

All positions in the medical field look like they're here to stay.  People are living to older ages, and need medical care.  Medical transcriptionists are necessary support staff, and I think they will be for years to come.

Helpful:\n1. treatment of cancer\n2. used to produce electricity\n3. xrays...used for diagnosis\n\nHarmful:\n1. major cause of cancer\n2. radiation poisoning

Although there are many opportunities in these areas, I will only highlight two, since I have experience in those areas.  The first is a Clinical Laboratory Scientist (aka-Medical Technologist).  These are the people who generally work in hospital labs, performing the various tests on body fluids that doctors order.\n\nMed techs can choose to work only in the area of Microbiology in the lab.  They culture patient samples and identify any organisms that may grow from those samples.  They also perform susceptibility testing on organisms to help let the doctor know which drugs would work best to treat the patient.  (Med techs can also specialize in Mycology (fungi) and parasitology.)\n\nImmunology is another area that med techs can work in.  Here, they test patients' blood for antibodies in order to diagnose various (often viral) diseases.\n\nAlso, there is also a demand in the field of infectious disease epidemiology.  In this area, epidemiologists try to find the cause, source, etc. of various infectious agents as well as try to find a way to prevent occurences of infectious disease.\n\nSo, that's about all I can tell you in a nutshell.  I hope that helps.

I know of two other people who had this operation due to cancer and neither one of them survived very long after. They were not related and they did not have the operation at the same hospitals.\nThe thing is that people some times forget when the doctor tells them that the risks of the operation are-------- and maybe 30% chance of survival---the next question being for how long? Lung cancer is a terrible disease. I,m so sorry to hear this distressing news.

In 2004 in the US there were 173,700 new cases of lung cancer and an estimated 160,440 deaths from lung cancer. Of those it is estimated that 87% are caused by smoking. Some 3,000 people die of lung cancer a year from second-hand smoke.\nI would expect that everyone who was diagnosed with lung cancer spends some time in hospital and so does everyone who dies - nice big number, isn't it?

my dad died of lung cancer.  The cancerous cells replaced the good ones and didnt do the job of the old ones.  Cancer kills because the organs affected stop working as their working cells are replaced.

Marijuana won't cause lung cancer I think is what you are looking for. There is a recent study that proved it. The scientist doing the study were a little shocked at the result. \n\nThere is a theory that that is true because one of the chemicals in marijuana might kill damaged lung cells before they become cancerous. But they really aren't sure.\n\nI wish I had a link to the study. I'm just saying what I remember.

look into nano-tech. we already have injectable little machines that proform surgery. the power to weight ratio is amazing
