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!

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...

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...
UnitedHealth, employer of slain exec Brian Thompson, found to have overcharged some cancer patients for drugs by over 1,000%

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

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!

@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

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?
