Lung cancer is the second most common type of cancer and leading cause of death in men and women in the United States, it is estimated that there is about 216,000 new cases and 160,000 deaths due to lung cancer. [116] Initiation and progression of lung carcinoma is the result of the interaction between genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors.
The inheritance of epigenetic marks in the immediate generation is referred to as intergenerational inheritance. [3] In male mice, the epigenetic signal is maintained through the F1 generation. [4] In female mice, the epigenetic signal is maintained through the F2 generation as a result of the exposure of the germline in the womb. [4]
Cancer cells avoid immune destruction by escaping detection. One of the main ways is by expressing the programmed death-1 ligand (PD-L1) on their surface.This protein is usually used to prevent T cells from attacking healthy cells. Tumor cells express PD-L1 in high amounts which prevents T cells from attacking them.

Nearly half of cancer deaths could be prevented with lifestyle changes, new research finds. An estimated 40% of all cancer cases and 44% of all cancer deaths in adults over 30 years old in the ...
In cancer cells, major changes in gene expression increase glucose uptake to support their rapid growth. Unlike normal cells, which produce lactate only when oxygen is low, cancer cells convert much of the glucose to lactate even in the presence of adequate oxygen. This is known as the “Warburg Effect.”
Exciting new technologies can help the U.S. government win the war that it declared 50 years ago—but the very same government may be hampering progress.
What does happen is that its opponents gradually die out, and that the growing generation is familiarized with the ideas from the beginning: another instance of the fact that the future lies with the youth. —
