Abstract: Lung cancer is one of the most increasing diseases in the rapidly changing world. This disease can be cured in the initial stage. It should be identified at the early stage for diagnosis purposes. The prediction of lung disease stages can be done using image processing techniques. The proposed algorithm consists of a segmentation process using Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DT-CWT). The segmented lungs are subjected to the feature extraction process which includes the Gray Level Co-occurrence (GLCM) algorithm....

Abstract Female non-smokers face a much higher risk of death from lung cancer over the last few years. Many causes explain why lung cancer rates have skyrocketed among the women non-smokers. The increase in mortality risk from lung cancer in female never-smokers can be due to causes including environmental tobacco smoke, radon(a radioactive gas found in nature in soil and rocks)asbestos, outdoor and indoor air pollution. This literature study has shown that in addition to these cases it is likely...

Why was this study ⁇ As cancer, one of the leading cause of death worldwide, with lung cancer being the second most significant diagnosed cancer in both men and women in US [ref] and the dismal five year survival rate of 16% is in part due to lack of symptoms during early stages and lack of effective screening test until recently [ref]. Hence detection at the earliest may decrease the mortality rate. Tumor staging based on coarse and discrete stratification...

Popeye domain-containing (POPDC) proteins are effector proteins that bind to cAMP to create a second messenger response that can influence the behaviour of cancer cells (Amunjela & Tucker, 2016). There are three different genes POPDC1, POPDC2 and POPDC3 that encode these proteins, however only POPDC1 and POPDC3 have been related to cancer cell behaviour. POPDC1 and POPDC3 are organised in tandem on chromosome 6q21 and POPDC2 can be found on chromosome 3 (Andree et al., 2000). All three of these...
