Every day in America we see disinformation/ distrust of the scientific method in favor of superstition and debunked theories. When asked what's the important thing you can do for your health: scans, diet changes, giving up sugar, I have a one word answer. Happy to share it at event supporting @NbccOrg Santa Barbara. @IASLC @lungoncdoc @LUNGevity @LungAssociation @GO2forLungCancr @EGFRResisters

One of the best sessions at #WTS25 : the vital role of thoracic surgeon scientists
From how to get involved in trials, to the importance of proper training and knowing where to start with the right funding opportunities

@MattSmeltzer @SteveYangMD Dr Sihag
Thanks so much to @WomenInThoracic for the invite to present some epi methods at your conference this year! This is an amazing group of surgeons!
Thank you @MattSmeltzer for kicking off Day 2 of #WTS2025 at our research methodology session, and to moderators Drs Ammara Watkins, Elizabeth Norton, and @SteveYangMD. Your Tree of Accuracy made epidemiology basics clear and practical for @WomenInThoracic attendees!

Dr. G. Carmona De Souza GLOBOCAN analysis:
➡️ Lung cancer burden will nearly double by 2050
➡️ Female burden rising faster
➡️ Low and medium HDI countries face the largest increases
We need equitable targeted prevention, screening

Now at #WCLC25 - Smoking is an important prognostic factor that adds to information provided by anatomical staging.
Further exploration of combining smoking status with TNM is planned in the 10th edition IASLC staging. @IASLC @Lawson_Eng
