A 32-year-old newlywed had a persistent cough. It was stage 4 cancer. Jaymie Knox had never smoked a cigarette. She kickboxed regularly. Still, she got stage 4 lung cancer. And she's not alone.

#Lungcancer spreads to the brain more than almost any other cancer.

For many people living with it, that’s one of the most feared complications & until recently, one of the least understood.

A 🆕 review just published in Science Signaling sets out what science is now beginning to understand. #LCSM

Shared with thanks and respect from our colleagues at the Lung Cancer Policy Network:
LDCT screening for lung cancer enables earlier diagnosis and better outcomes. Could it also detect other diseases with similar risk factors? More: t.co/SmQndTgTF7

A new @cellpress.bsky.social perspective looks at why more cancers are being diagnosed in younger adults.

For #lungcancer, it adds to wider thinking that risk may be shaped across life by environment, inflammation and timing of exposure. #LCSM

#LungCancer doesn’t care if you smoked. In fact, 1 in 5 people diagnosed have never smoked. Let that sink in...

It’s time to stop the blame and start showing up with support. Share this post to help end the stigma.

#LungCancerAwareness

To help us better understand unmet needs in small cell #lungcancer we’ve launched a 7-minute anonymous survey on experiences of diagnosis, treatment & support across Europe.

Closes 31 March.

This study suggests some ALK+ lung cancers may carry a weakness called MTAP loss that future treatment combinations could exploit. Though not something changing care now, it could be an important lead for what comes next. #LCSM #LungCancer

The Rare Cancers Act 2026 received Royal Assent on Friday - a major milestone for people affected by less survivable cancers. The Taskforce will continue working with government and partners across the UK to ensure this Act delivers real change.

At our #BTOG26 Annual Conference last week, we presented our inaugural BTOG Awards for persons who have made a real difference to the care, treatment, or research for patients with thoracic malignancies. Congratulations to our winners!

Today is #NoSmokingDay. 🚭

Quitting smoking is one of the most powerful steps to improve health and reduce lung cancer risk.

Smoking cessation services should continue to be integrated within the National Screening Programme so people can access support to quit.

From our colleagues @LungCancerCanada: Supporting a loved one with lung cancer can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone.

Lung cancer is rising in young, non-smoking women yet many face misdiagnosis & delays, because it isn’t expected in people their age.

This #InternationalWomensDay, let’s make #lungcancer in young, non-smoking women part of the conversation.

🙏 to our ALK+ UK commmunity for sharing their stories.

Lung cancer is the biggest cancer killer of women in Europe yet is rarely recognised as a women’s health issue.

More women are being diagnosed across Europe, & in some countries deaths are still rising.

When we talk about women’s health, #lungcancer must be included.
#InternationalWomensDay #LCSM

Repeat chest infections can be an overlooked sign of #lungcancer.

Prof Robert Rintoul says slow clearing or repeat chest infections, should raise concern.

Finding lung cancer early is key to better outcomes, so awareness of less obvious symptoms is key. #LCSM

Hear hear! #lungcancer patients have enough to cope with without a blizzard of apps to download and curate. Just a thought - are apps becoming this century's tamagatchis? Fun to begin with, and many are useful in their way, but also a burden at times?
