Research published in the February edition of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology sought to assess the overall efficacy of split-course palliative chest radiotherapy (RT) for symptom relief in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Additionally, researchers investigated the impact the regimen's two-week break has on survival outcomes.

DNA contains the blueprints for all the proteins in the body. DNA is wound up in tight coils and when a cell wants to make a protein, these coils unravel to expose the instructions for making that protein. The degree to which DNA stays tightly coiled or loosens up is influenced by whether or not chemicals called "methyl groups" are attached to specific parts of the DNA.

This process starts off in childhood silently. There are no symptoms, no warnings and no pains. A small globule of fat attaches itself to a wall in an artery leading to the heart. Slowly, as the years pass by, other fat cells join the first, building up a lingering deposit that eventually clogs the passageway through which oxygen rich blood must pass.
