Barry Manilow pauses arena shows as recovery continues after lung cancer surgery

Barry Manilow, 82, has postponed more arena shows as he continues recovery from lung cancer surgery. A surgeon told him he’s not yet ready for a 90‑minute performance, forcing reschedules from Feb. 27 through March 17, with potential Las Vegas dates at the end of March and a second April leg depending on progress. He was diagnosed last December after an MRI found a cancerous spot on a lung.

Lung cancer shifts to younger, non-smoking women

Lung cancer shifts to younger, non-smoking women

A growing share of lung cancer cases now occur in never-smokers, especially women, with radon exposure and other factors contributing to risk. Laura Hamann’s story illustrates this trend, often asymptomatic and found incidentally; advances in targeted therapies are improving outcomes, and experts urge radon testing and discussion of screening for high-risk individuals.

Tumors hijack brain signals through nerves to dampen immune defense

Tumors hijack brain signals through nerves to dampen immune defense

A Nature study in mice shows that lung cancer cells connect with nearby sensory neurons to send a signal to the brain that suppresses tumor-killing immune cells at the tumor site, allowing cancer to grow. Disabling these neurons reduced tumor growth by more than 50%, revealing a tumor-to-brain–immune axis that could be targeted to boost anticancer defenses.

Pill-Based Donor Microbes Show Early Promise in Boosting Cancer Immunotherapy

Pill-Based Donor Microbes Show Early Promise in Boosting Cancer Immunotherapy

Two small Nature Medicine trials suggest oral fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) pills may boost immunotherapy in advanced cancers: in metastatic kidney cancer, FMT reduced immunotherapy side effects and produced about a 50% response; in advanced lung cancer or melanoma, combining FMT with immunotherapy yielded response rates around 75–80%, higher than typical 39–45% rates. While promising, results are early and require larger trials.

Fecal Transplants Boost Immunotherapy Responses and Cut Side Effects in Cancer Trials

Two Nature Medicine studies show that fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) capsules can both reduce immunotherapy-related toxicity in kidney cancer and improve response rates in lung cancer and melanoma—80% of lung cancer patients and 75% of melanoma patients responded to immunotherapy after FMT (significantly higher than immunotherapy alone) in multicenter Phase II trials using LND101 capsules.

Lung cancer immunotherapy study retracted over data integrity concerns

A Nature Retraction Note published January 14, 2026 states that the 2023 study on antibodies against endogenous retroviruses promoting lung cancer immunotherapy has been retracted after an institutional investigation found data integrity concerns. Specific issues include manipulated A549 cell-binding data in Figure 5c, potentially manipulated ADCC results in Figures 5d–e, and unverifiable source data for B cell and antibody quantitation (Figure 3c and Extended Data Fig. 5c). The Francis Crick Institute ruled that co-first author Kevin Ng was responsible for these analyses and recommended retraction. The authors apologized and plan to publish a revised, properly validated report; they note that TRACERx and CAPTURE clinical/genetic data are not indicated to be affected.

Rising Lung Cancer Cases in Young Non-Smoking Women and Non-Smokers

Lung cancer rates are rising among women under 50, including non-smokers, due to factors like air pollution, lifestyle, and biological differences. Early symptoms are often overlooked, but timely diagnosis and modern treatments can significantly improve outcomes. Awareness and preventive measures are crucial to address this emerging health concern.
