Smokers who have chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) may face
nearly twice the risk of getting small cell lung cancer (SCLC),the
deadliest form of lung cancer,than smokers who don't have COPD,
according to a large worldwide study led by researchers at the Harvard
T.H. Chan School of Public Health. "This work suggests that we need to tease out the mechanisms by which
COPD may increase lung cancer risk in smokers, and to conduct clinical
trials to determine whether treating COPD in former and current smokers
lessens that risk," said David Christiani, Elkan Blout Professor of
Environmental Genetics at Harvard Chan School and senior author of the
study.
SCLC accounts for 15-18% of lung cancers worldwide. Although patients
often respond well to initial treatment, they often relapse within a
year. Those with limited SCLC live, on average, 14-20 months after
diagnosis; those with extensive disease live only 9-11 months after
being diagnosed.
I was diagnosed of COPD in July 2014. I was on Albuterol Nebs and levalbuterol to ease the situation as i constantly go out of breath when talking or when walking, I was adviced for Lung Volume reduction surgery (LVRS) because my both upper lobes of the lungs were affected, i was making preparation for this surgery when a friend of mine told me about a traditional herbal doctor called doctor Abumere who prepares herbal medicine to cure all kind of diseases including COPD disease, When i contacted Dr Abumere his email and bought the herbal medicine I received the herbal medicine through courier service in 3days, when i received this herbal medicine i used it as prescribed and was totally cured of COPD within 18-20 days of usage, contact Dr Abumere via his email: abumereherbalcentre@gmail.com.
