Our community mourns the loss of Chad, who lived with RET+ lung cancer for 2.5 years. He loved deeply, lifted others and faced every setback with courage. His passing is a heartbreaking reminder: we still have a long way to go. Chad deserved more time. #LungCancerAwareness

The mystery rise of lung cancer in non-smokers
The number of lung cancer cases in people who have never smoked is increasing. The disease is different from lung cancer caused by smoking, so what causes it?

We like to believe that our conscious or unconscious bias against people who smoke/d isn’t evident.
It’s time to change the conversation and reflect on our biases. Everyone deserves hope, compassion and respect, regardless of their smoking history and cancer type.

The lifesaving promise of a new national screening program for Australia's deadliest cancer
The five-year survivorship for lung cancer is 26 per cent. That is too low. The launch of the National Screening Program is just the start.

Had my good friend Anne Fidler had access to a free national lung cancer screening program, her Stage 4 lung cancer could have been found & treated earlier.

After years of lobbying from patients, the first ever national lung cancer screening program will roll out next month for people who have a significant history of smoking.

We first learned that smoking is causatively associated with lung cancer in 1950. Now France bans outdoor smoking 75 years later
