Lung Cancer Never Smoked

Prof. Keith Scott-Mumby

I read with sadness this week of the death of Judith Durham, lead singer of The Seekers pop/folk group from Australia. They were sensational and defined a whole era with songs like Morningtown Ride, Georgie Girl and—my favorite—I’ll Never Find Another You. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZf41UudAbI] The Seekers in their heyday The reason I bring this up is […] The post Lung Cancer Never Smoked appeared first on Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby.

Lung Cancer Risk Factors for NON-Smokers

Keith Scott-Mumby

Lung cancer used to be virtually unknown.  However, in the last century, cancer risk factors have changed dramatically. Those living during the Victorian era did not possess sophisticated diagnostic or screening technology.  However, they were able to diagnose late stage cancer just as we do today.  Back then, it was an uncommon finding and cancer […] The post Lung Cancer Risk Factors for NON-Smokers appeared first on Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby.

Now People Who Have Never Smoked Are Getting Lung Cancer

Keith Scott-Mumby

As I have written elsewhere, lung cancer used to be an almost unknown disease. I have a paper in which lung cancer is described as a rare form of a rare disease (cancer is rare).

A Breathalyzer Test For Cancer

Keith Scott-Mumby

Remember my jokey piece: Dr. Fido will see you now!1 I wrote about the fact that dogs could be trained to sniff out cancers with a high degree of accuracy (better than blood tests and x-rays). Of course, if dogs can smell tumors, that must mean there are distinct chemicals being produced. So—only a matter […]

Toenail Clippings Nail Lung Cancer Risk

Keith Scott-Mumby

Next time you clip your toenails, you may hesitate to throw them away. Toenails can tell us about the risk of lung cancer, according to a study just published in the American Journal of Epidemiology (March 2, 2011). You may even be at risk of the disease if you have never smoked. The point is […]

The PSA Test Is Dead!

Keith Scott-Mumby

It’s no longer officially scientific to recommend a PSA test “just to see”. A U.S. Preventive Services Task Force is preparing to recommend that the PSA test get a “D” rating, meaning the results are unreliable and likely to lead to unnecessary biopsies, in which the risks outweigh any measurable benefit. The PSA test results […]
