Prevent lung cancer

Scientists have identified biological changes in apparently normal airway tissue that could potentially predict the development of lung cancer. The changes alter game & cell activity in the immune system. A team from Boston university school of medicine in Massachusetts let the student to made these finding ogling cancer. The researcher examined sample of precancerous lesions from the airway tissue of people who smoke. The team take years to see & search whose lesions became cancerous. In a nature communication paper,  they describe how they identified  four molecular subtypes of precancerous lession with the help of distinct tissue & immune system difference
