Language matters. Period. A diagnosis or risk factor doesn’t define a person. Check yourself & team with coaching and polite reminders. Patient-first non-stigmatizing language improves patient outcomes. We can all do better ! @NLCRTnews @ASCO @IASLC

"A smoker is an individual who smokes. A lung cancer patient is a patient with lung cancer." 💬 @ellakaz Read more in the #ACRBulletin screening special issue 👉 https://t.co/RgdQp0zVEr 👈

Scientists from the Francis Crick Institute in the UK were able to predict who would develop lung cancer more accurately than the best risk assessment models currently in use through identifying a set of proteins in the blood. The researchers validated the 14-protein “signature” in eight additional data sets from around the world, including one data set from Taiwan that primarily included people who had never smoked.

Grateful to have participated in the @NLCRTnews #ImpSci summit, where #LungCancerScreening leaders/experts shared our work, collaborated, and workshopped issues, aims, & strategies to guide future efforts + best practices 🫁

Thx to the program committee for bringing us together!

We are incredibly excited to share that ALCSI founder Dr. Chi-Fu Jeff Yang (@ChiFuJeffYang) is featured in @CNN, helping dispel common #LungCancer myths!!

This piece shines a light on gaps in current screening eligibility and highlights how the INSPIRE study, supported by ALCSI, is identifying lung cancers in individuals with long smoking duration who do not meet USPSTF pack-year guidelines. It also underscores the promise of Sybil, an AI tool that can help identify those at high risk of developing lung cancer based on a single CT scan.

We were so excited to see several of our incredible advisors @LeciaSequist, @jdoningtonmd, and @F_Fintelmann_MD featured in the article, and are deeply inspired by the stories of survivors Bertie Gethers, Kelley Jones, Juliet DuBois, and Loryn Fadus, who remind us why this work matters every day.

We are thrilled to share that Soneesh Kothagundla (@soneeshkk ), one of ALCSI's very own high school student superstars, was recently featured on Forbes (@Forbes ) for his #lungcancer advocacy efforts! On multiple flights, Soneesh has given public service announcements on lung cancer to all passengers, encouraging them to get #screened! He has also worked with billboard and advertising companies to get screening information on over 175 billboards and bus shelters nationwide! Over 94 million individuals have seen or interacted with these ads. We are SO proud of Soneesh and can't wait to see all the incredible initiatives he will lead in the future!!

About 4.5 % of eligible individuals were screened for lung cancer, with Non-hispanic White maies more likely to get low dose CT scan completion. @KPMedSchool @GO2forLungCancr @LUNGevity @atscommunity @AmericanCancer @ACSCAN @NLCRTnews @NCQA

The Lahey Lung Cancer Screening program has surpassed 30,000 scans

10,500 patients scanned
382 lung cancers detected
Cancer detection rate of 3.65%

0.0095 rate of any invasive procedure in patients without cancer

Lung Cancer Screening is SAFE and EFFECTIVE

ALCSI joined National Night Out in St. Paul for a block party and community resource fair!

Our team tabled, participated in the festivities, and connected with community members about lung cancer screening and early detection. We loved being part of such an engaging community evening and appreciate everyone who stopped by to learn more! 🫁

Please take a few minutes to read this moving story by @SimarSBajaj in @nytimes about the soul-crushing weight of stigma that so many people with lung cancer carry every day. I was nearly in tears reading it. We must do a better job of destigmatizing lung cancer. No patient should ever be made to feel this alone.

I also want to express my deepest gratitude to Ms. Cottrill, Ms. Padua-Reyes, and Mr. Pantelas for sharing your stories. I am profoundly grateful for your courage in opening up about such deeply personal experiences—your voices matter, and they are changing lives.
