🫁 November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month.
Finding lung cancer early can make surgery possible - with the aim of a cure.
Don't wait. Get Checked! ✅
In partnership with @LungCancerEu 👇 getchecked.eu/stories/ests-q…
#LungCancerAwareness #GetChecked #ThoracicSurgery
ALT Diverse patients, caregivers and clinicians form a collage for a lung cancer awareness poster with the headline "Lung cancer. Two sides to every diagnosis." and logos urging Get checked! and ESTS Quality of Life Working Group.
For some people with early #lungcancer, radiotherapy is now a real alternative to surgery. In one study followed for 10 yrs, survival was similar, with fewer complications.
For #WorldRadiographyDay: how radiographers support people with lung cancer, from 1st scan to trtmt.

After brutal chemo, Mel felt she’d fallen into a hole. But Mel is still Mel. In love with Sarah. A writer. A devoted tea lover.
She had lungs. That’s all it took.
Share her story. See who we are beyond #lungcancer.

Wonderful discussion on biomarkers in SCLC from Dr. @AlvaroQuintanal - application of transcriptional subtype limited by plasticity and heterogeneity. Discusses biologic distinction of SCLC in pts with no history of smoking. And how plasticity will impact BiTEs.

Screening finds #lungcancer earlier, when more treatment options are available.
SOLACE+ has just launched to help 19 European countries set up or improve low-dose CT screening. It builds on a pilot that screened more than 30,000 people in 11 countries, and brings together 46 partners to reach people at highest risk.

Émilie was 36 when she was diagnosed with #lungcancer.
It started with chest pain. Over time she also became breathless and tired. She lost weight, her voice went hoarse, the pain got worse and she couldn’t shake a cough.
“I saw at least nine doctors and had four courses of antibiotics before I was diagnosed with lung cancer.”
Lung cancer can affect anyone with lungs, at any age. Symptoms are easy to put down to an infection, stress or a busy life, especially in younger people. If a symptom doesn’t go away, or keeps coming back after treatment, go back to your GP or family doctor and ask whether it could be your lungs.

Lung cancer at 26, with no history of smoking.
Rasika was exercising regularly and eating healthily when she developed a cough. She was given cough syrup and asked to come back if it didn't get better, and her cough was put down to allergies or Covid. After 4 weeks, she pressed for answers and was sent for an X-ray. It showed a patch on her left lung.
"I never imagined someone so young, with no history of smoking, could have lung cancer."
There isn't a type of person who gets #lungcancer. If something has changed and isn't going away, go back to your doctor.

An inspiring story and talk shared by Leah Phillips of @YoungLungCancer Initiative, co-founder & executive director.
We need greater awareness, less stigma, and earlier diagnosis.

🫁 Anyone with lungs can get lung cancer, including young women and people who have never smoked.
Lung cancer can affect anyone. This World Lung Cancer Awareness Month, let’s challenge misconceptions, raise awareness, and encourage early detection.

I would travel to the ends of the earth to celebrate you. To sit in a room filled with people whose lives you have touched, to hear the beautiful words spoken about your character, your contributions to science, and the hope you have given to so many. I love you immensely.

Remarkable advances in HER2-mutant NSCLC over the past few years. Great overview by Dr. @lungoncdoc.
Now 3 approved agents: 2 TKIs (both approved for 1L) and 1 ADC.
Key Qs: optimal sequencing, overcoming resistance, combination strategies.

#Lungcancer can turn someone into a patient overnight. Their dreams, relationships & identity still matter.
This #LCAM26, @EGFRResisters @YoungLungCancer & OCR bring you Humans of Lung Cancer as @Yvonne_Diaz_ shares.
Stop asking why. Start seeing who.
Help amplify our stories.

Dr. @pompili_cecilia highlights the need to invest in PREMs & PROMs for patients with lung cancer as part of a 24 hour global webinar. QoL can predict complications - need to listen to what are pts are telling us. Unfortunately, underutilization continues, missed opportunities.
Lung cancer is often found late, and as lung cancer nurse Vee Rayson @LCN_UK explains, "not that it's anybody's fault".
Early symptoms are easy to miss or mistake for something else.
If something has changed and isn't going away, get it checked.
