The result is that it exacerbates the effect of the nervous system, causing acceleration of various body systems. One of the early symptoms is the feeling like an overdose of epinephrine (adrenalin).

Counting Lung Cancer Cells Could Help Predict Most Suitable Treatment Counting the number of lung cancer cells circulating in the blood could determine how aggressive the cancer is and help to tailor the most suitable treatment, according to Cancer Research UK. Research published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology studied the number of circulating tumour cells (CTCs) in the blood samples of 101 lung cancer patients, before and after one cycle of chemotherapy. This identified that cancer patients with five or more CTCs had a significantly worse survival rate. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy can slow the growth of lung cancer, however in most patients the cancer returns and is more resistant to treatment. At present there are no tests available that can provide an early warning about resistance. This study could provide a simple way to monitor how successfully a patient is responding to their treatment. By understanding the CTC numbers doctors will be able to adjust a patient's treatment as needed. Dr Fiona Blackhall, joint author and lung cancer clinician at The Christie in Manchester, said: "Our research shows a new way to monitor how a patient's lung cancer is...more
