Please sign to save lung cancer research funding at the Dept of Defense’s CDMRP. Cuts could be up to 57% and lung cancer only gets $25 million!! www.votervoice.net/mobile/LCA/H...

I joined @23andMe's @LungCancerGeneticsStudy to help future patients. With today's announcement about secure data sharing for research, there's never been a better time to participate. www.einnews.com/pr_news/7846...

Local Consolidative Therapy Combo May Extend Survival in Stage IV NSCLC A single-arm phase 2 study assessed local consolidative therapy regimens in patients with oligometastatic stage IV non–small cell lung carcinoma.

Interesting news from Radiation Oncology—local consolidative therapy combined with systemic chemotherapy shows promise in extending survival for patients with stage IV non–small cell lung carcinoma with oligometastases. #lungcancer

FDA purges material on clinical trial diversity from its site, showing stakes of Trump DEI ban Following the Trump administration's DEI ban, the FDA's move to scrub webpages has ensnared many pages focused on ensuring diversity in drug trials.

This is so disturbing because different populations can respond differently to the same treatment. Ignorant broad implementations are not a solution. www.statnews.com/2025/01/23/f...

Lung cancer is still the top killer of both men and women estimated for 2025 by ACS. And the least funded for research. THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE!

The Power of Unity: Why the Lung Cancer Genetics Study Matters The Lung Cancer Genetics Study, a collaboration between lung cancer advocacy organizations, aims to explore the genetics of lung cancer

I participated in this study because it will be the Mother of all lung cancer research databases and be accessible to qualified researchers everywhere. No more research silos or petty institutional proprietary BS! www.curetoday.com/view/the-pow...

Limertinib Wins Approval in China for EGFR T790M+ NSCLC Limertinib was approved in China for locally advanced or metastatic non–small cell lung cancer harboring an EGFR T790M mutation.

How does this stack up against osimertinib? www.onclive.com/view/limerti...

UnitedHealth, employer of slain exec Brian Thompson, found to have overcharged some cancer patients for drugs by over 1,000% The report is the latest indictment of America’s broken healthcare system.

Unbelievable greed! @UHC @Cigna @CVSHealth your execs need to go to jail and be held accountable! Ripping off cancer patients. www.yahoo.com/news/unitedh...

It sure does! We need some new research strategies that are not just whack a mole but are less toxic and more durable. They need to find out how to block sclc transformation!

It really sucks after osimertinib stops working. I don’t care for any of the current options. Researchers need to find different strategies! QOL is everything!

Why is it taking the @fda.gov so long to approve subQ amivantamab? Many patients are having serious reactions to the IV form sending them to the ER and resulting in hospital stays despite being premedicated! #lcsm

Hope? It’s a harsh treatment for many. I wouldn’t want it.

Amivantamab can be a very nasty drug and would be a harsh reality for newly diagnosed pts.

Thank you!

This is my new grandson. Hoping lung cancer doesn’t kill me before he can remember who I am! We need better treatment options after Tagrisso!

Do you have an oncogenic driver?

@pattymurray.bsky.social The Women and Lung Cancer Research and Preventative Services Act finally got passed in the House! Now Senate needs to act on it. It’s taken 10 freakin years!! Too many women are dying in the meantime! Do something!

Lung cancer oncologists: stop giving up on your patients that are in later lines of therapy! It’s time to think out of the box! #lcsm

From Surgery to the Start Line: Katie Gilmore Runs Her First Marathon After Overcoming Lung Cancer While Pregnant | LUNGevity Foundation After losing half a lung, Katie Gilmore is now combining two important aspects of her life—running and raising awareness of lung cancer.

PREGNANCY+LUNG CANCER, a horrible combo but not that rare! #lcsm www.lungevity.org/blogs/from-s...

Cancer caught quickly after AI used by Royal Surrey NHS Trust Dianne Covey's lung cancer was detected at Stage 1 and her prognosis is positive, says the hospital.

AI as a 2nd eye for lung cancer scans is FDA approved but Medicare is stalling its approval so that patients aren’t able to get this technogy yet. #lcsm www.bbc.com/news/article...

The EPA has banned 2 cancer-causing chemicals used in dry cleaning and degreasing. What that means for your health. The EPA has banned two chemicals — known as TCE and perc — commonly found in dry cleaning solutions and stain removers.

It’s about freeking time!!! www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/th...

Longitudinal Analyses of Circulating Tumor DNA for the Detection of EGFR Mutation-Positive Advanced NSCLC Progression During Treatment: Data From FLAURA and AURA3 EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI)-sensitizing and -resistance mutations may be detected in plasma through circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). Circulating tumor DNA level changes reflect alterations in tumor burden and could be a dynamic indicator of treatment effect. This analysis aimed to determine whether longitudinal EGFR-mutation ctDNA testing could detect progressive disease (PD) before radiologic detection.

Why aren’t more oncologists using MRD tests like Signatera or Guardant Reveal to proactively treat NSCLC before PD shows up on imaging especially in later treatment lines? www.jto.org/article/S155...

Senator Patty Murray has allowed this bill to sit in her committee for years now without any action. How many more young women will die while this bill sits and sits?

In the US, young and middle-aged women are being diagnosed with lung cancer at higher rates than men | CNN Susan Wojcicki, the late CEO of YouTube, had a message for the world just weeks before she passed away in August: “Lung cancer among people who have never smoked has been rising significantly.”

Young women are more at risk than men for lung cancer. Its past due for studies as to why. Congress needs to act on S 2245 and HR 4535.www.cnn.com/2024/11/25/health/lung-c...

He's a doctor studying why lung cancer rates are rising in Asian Americans with no smoking history. Now he's also a patient. Stanford University medical professor Dr. Bryant Lin was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer despite never smoking. Now, he's using himself as a case study to teach students about patient care.

Anyone with lungs can get lung cancer #lcsm www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/he...
