#Lungcancer can affect anyone - even if it’s the last thing you’d expect. It doesn’t care about age, history or lifestyle.
Symptoms aren’t always obvious they can be subtle & not always respiratory related.
Don’t ignore signs that persist. Finding it early increases your options. #LCSM

Promising signals from the ALEK-B ph 2 trial: combining alectinib w bevacizumab achieved 97.1% 12-mo PFS & median PFS of 39.6 months in ALK+ #NSCLC. Intracranial control also notably strong.
Could this combo help overcome resistance in more aggressive ALK variants?
