The five-year study, with technical support from the National Institute of Environ mental Health Sciences, will involve examining 100 or more volunteers with a new kind of bronchoscope developed in Vancouver, Canada, by Dr. Stephen Lam. "So far, we are one of only 15 centers in the United States and the only one in North Caro lina to have this important new technology, which is called 'LIFE' for light imaging fluo rescence endoscope," said Dr. M. Patricia Rivera, assistant, professor of medicine. "What is new and promising about the device is that it lights up the endobronchial tree—the lung's -n Organ &Tissue DONATION Share your life.

Doctors insert special lighted tubes known as bronchoscopes into the lungs to examine tis sues lining the inside of the airways for evidence of can cer, Rivera said. The LIFE bronchoscope promises to be a major improvement over ear lier technology because it causes normal cells to appear bright green. Abnormalities, on the other hand, such as tumors or pre-cancerous lesions ap pear varying shades of red and brown. ”We are looking for patients who have a prior history of early-stage lung cancer, head or neck cancer, smokers over age 35 and smokers w'ho have had relatives with lung can cer," the physician said. "Our hope is that we will be able to detect cancers at a much ear lier stage when we know the cure rate is better." Volunteers’ will receive no pay for participating, but the study might save their lives, said Rivera, a member of the UNC Lineberger Comprehen sive Cancer Institute. Insur ance should cover the cost of the evaluation since the LIFE bronchoscope already has won US Food and Drug Administra tion approval. Anyone interested in more information can call her.at (919) 966-2531 or 966-2533. Lung cancer is the second most common cancer among both US men and women, she said. However, it kills more men and women than any other form of cancer including pros tate and breast. "Eighty percent of new lung cancer cases in this country are due to smoking, but there are other very important causes as well," Rivera said. "Among these are genetic sus ceptibility and air pollution, including exposure to other potential carcinogens such as asbestos and radon." For the same level of smok ing, women are at greater risk of lung cancer than men, she said.

As a result, women are steadily closing the lung can cer gap between themselves and men. . "We are looking for both men and women, but screening women is very important since many previous studies have excluded them, and lung can cer is very much a women's health issue," Rivera said.
