This is a truly exciting potential option for ALK once other options exhausted. Love the aim of repurposing drugs which can help get patients the treatments they need faster.

What if a leukemia drug could help treat ALK+ lung cancer?
A new trial at @UMRogelCancerCtr is exploring gilteritinib—FDA-approved for leukemia—as a way to overcome resistance in ALK+ NSCLC.

When Billie @dimplesNOpimple was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, her world changed over night. It's hard to make plans for uncertain future.
But research is a passport into a brighter future.

In 2020, approximately 2.2 million new cases of #lungcancer were diagnosed worldwide. Despite this high incidence, global efforts continue to advance prevention, early detection & treatment options. Together, we can work towards a future w/fewer cases and better outcomes! #LCAM24

The $3B Human Genome Project was started under a Republican administration and later acknowledged by the Obama admin to have returned $141 to the economy for every $1 spent. Science has a higher ROI than any other category of government spending.

“Research is the wind allowing renewed hope to set sail”
Every person LIVING with lung cancer cancer has been made possible by clinical research.
It's why Dr @BalazsHalmosMD says that research today means better care for patients today and tomorrow. Let's continue to push for more research today.

50% of #lungcancer patients are excluded from screening under current age/pack-year criteria. 🚨 New research shows PM2.5 air pollution drives #EGFR+ lung cancer in young women. We need to rethink how we identify at-risk patients ilcn.org/data-link-air-pollu… #LCSM

What a beautiful article about Sara! 💜An incredible advocate & shining example of positivity, resilience, & strength. Thank you for sharing your lung cancer story, Sara, & for raising awareness during #LungCancerAwarenessMonth.
This month is Lung Cancer Awareness Month - and if you picture a patient with terminal lung cancer, @SaraTurle is probably not the image that would come to mind.
You’re more likely to find her walking miles along the beach than spending time in hospital: ekhuft.nhs.uk/news/all-you-n…
