Early detection of lung cancer

Lung cancer is hard to detect. Only 15 percent of lung cancer cases are detected in their early stages. Because of late detection, survival from this disease is a low percentage situation. By the time of discovery, the cancer has already spread making it hard to cure.

But there is a new method that can supplement the detection of lung cancer on its early stages. It is called LC Detect. It is a novel blood test which measures the HAAH in serum. Although this method is not conclusive if taken alone, the diagnostic information it provides when taken together with the results of imaging technology procedures can be an effective method of determining the presence of lung cancer.
