I think that it is ironic that a possible cure for lung cancer originated at Wake Forest University. Back in tghe 1950’s when the Reynolds family (of R. J. Reynolds Tobacco fame) decided they needed a big time college in Winston-Salem, they shopped around. They found that Wake Forest College of Wake Forest, North Carolina could be bought and moved the entire school except for the seminary to Winston-Salem. So profits from tobacco have possibly set the stage for a cancer cure.

“If you’re diagnosed with lung cancer today, you’ve got a 15 percent chance of surviving five years – and that’s just devastating,” said co-lead investigator Patricia E. Gallagher, Ph.D., director of the Molecular Biology Core Laboratory in the Hypertension and Vascular Research Center at the School of Medicine. “Those other 85 people – 85 percent – they’re not going to see their kids graduate. They’re not going to see their children get married.”


What a bizarrre statement-—she is assuming the everyone who is diagnosed with lung cancer is young.

It’s comments like hers that makes me ignore all studies.

Does that mean that people Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors such as Altace or Lotensin are at a higher risk of cancer?

I find it grotesquely ironic that this research is coming out of Wake Forest. Guess there's no shortage of lung cancer cases in Winston-Salem, NC.
