Article: Researchers from University of Texas, M. D. Anderson Cancer Center detail new studies and findings in the area of lung cancer cell biology.

Fresh data on lung cancer are presented in the report 'The influence of tumor necrosis factor-alpha -308 G/A and IL-6 -174 G/C on pain and analgesia response in lung cancer patients receiving supportive care.' "We previously showed that select cytokine gene polymorphisms are a significant predictor for pain reported at initial presentation in 446 white patients newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer. This follow-up study explores the extent to which polymorphisms in tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha-308 G/A), interleukin (IL)-6 -174G/C, and IL-8 -251T/A could explain variability in pain and analgesic response among those patients (n=140) subsequently ...
