That is a wrap for #NLCRT2024. I got to check out the hotel lounge before I made it back to the airport. Lots of great work being done by the roundtable members. #lungcancer #lcsm
It's always good to catch up with friends, colleagues, researchers, and #patientadvocates at #NLCRT2024 #lungcancer.
Michael talked about his story navigating #lungcancer, battling insurance denials of biopsy and treatments for resistance, and what he wishes he had known at #NLCRT2024. #patientadvocacy
#NLCRT2024 was short, but sweet! Grateful for the opportunity to connect with and hear from the brightest minds doing the best work re #LungCancer 🫁 🤍
And how lucky am I that I got to hang out with @ejfloresmd.bsky.social twice in as many weeks?! Missing @ashleyprosper.bsky.social 🤗 #lcsm
Whitney Mendel from Roswell Park highlighting our work thru NYS Cancer Consortium’s #LungCancerScreening Action Team! Whitney & I have worked on LCSAT/subcomittees for a few years & finally met in person at #NLCRT2024
Thrilled about my recent appointment to the executive committee! #lcsm
Dr. Janne highlighted therapies for #Lungcancer, how treatment for a biomarker driven cancer increases survival, and how Drug tolerant persisted can lead to resistance to therapy at #NLCRT2024.
FINALLY met @ashleyprosper.bsky.social IRL at #NLCRT2024 after years of virtual friendship and collaboration (no surprise, she lived up to her 🦄 reputation)! And such a pleasure to hang out with esteemed thoracic surgeon, Dr. Loretta Erhunmwunsee!
Love supporting the #HearHer campaign! Such an important initiative to raise awareness of younger women and #lungcancer #nlcrt2024
Dr. Sequist listed all of the #lungcancer therapies that require NGS / #biomarker testing before therapy. Green means those require NGS testing. Toxicity also has to be considered if TKI and Immune checkpoint therapy is administered. #NLCRT2024
Finally met the Dr. Ella Kazerooni, and she told me she’s been following my work— I just about fainted ☺️ Dr. Kazerooni has been doing the hard word to make progress across the lung cancer continuum before it was sexy. She and her work are inspirational/aspirational! #NLCRT2024 #lcsm
Dusty Donaldson from Dusty Joy Foundation at #NLCRT2024 about the importance of education to empower patients, the importance of partnerships, and establishing a community for those with #SCLC.
Here is some of the work that Heidi and Pierre Onda are doing to increase #lungcancerawareness and reduce #stigma for those with #lungcancer through the White Ribbon Project at #NLCRT2024. Partnerships are key.
Just met two of my heroes, Dr. Lisa Carter-Bawa @drcarterbawa.bsky.social and Dr. Andrea McKee, doing incredible trailblazing work in the #LungCancer space and I’m totally fangirling 🤩 #NLCRT2024 #lcsm 🫁🤍
Gladys Vega from LA Collaborative talked about the programs, initiatives, healthcare and food access she is doing for latino patients and communities at #NLCRT2024.
Part of our team is at the #nlcrt2024 - National Lung Cancer Roundtable - already inspired in the first hour. Equity, justice, stigma: so much work to be done to reduce the burden of lung cancer for all. We are in the right place to move the work forward.
