After the former YouTube CEO, Susan Wojcicki, died of lung cancer at 56, her husband and sisters are continuing her mission to improve how the disease is detected and treated. @ReeveWill has the story.
Susan's vision is what helped launch the Lung Cancer Genetics Study. We're proud to help continue her mission to better understand how genetics and the environment affect lung cancer risk.
#LCSM#LungCancer#CancerResearch
Carrying out Susan’s mission is an important initiative for our family. Susan was shocked when she learned she had lung cancer and even more surprised to learn that it’s the number one cancer killer.

If you read one thing this week, read today's @nytimes piece by @SimarSBajaj https://t.co/GoxJ8bByt7 It names a truth people with #lungcancer live with every single day.
This well-written article makes it clear that stigma doesn't just hurt people emotionally; it is a life or death barrier. People delay diagnosis, care, and support because they're afraid of being judged.
Lung cancer is not a morality story. And nicotine addiction isn't a bad habit or personal failure - It's a DISEASE and should be treated that way, with compassion and evidence-based care, not judgment.
Thank you, @JimPantelas, for always being so open and honest. And thank you, @drCarterBawam, @hawkeyestudts, @NarjustFlorezMD, and others, for continuing to remind people of the most basic truth: no one 'earns' this disease and no one 'deserves' it!
Please help change the conversation and shift the narrative from shame and blame to hope and humanity.

@jillfeldman4@nytimes@SimarSBajaj Such an important message! It's encouraging that big outlets like the Times are focusing on stigma and the damage it can cause — hopefully we can help move the needle on this issue 🤍
Did you know that anyone with lungs can get lung cancer? When Susan Wojcicki, former CEO of @YouTube, was diagnosed, she wanted to know why. Check out @LostWomenofSci's new episode and @23andMe's new blog to learn what Susan's experience can teach us about lung cancer #LCAM25
Just in time for #WCLC25! The NEW @IASLC Language Guide is available — and it now includes abbreviations to help with abstract writing under tight word limits.
Abbreviations were created to help members apply person-first language in contexts with strict word limits, such as abstracts and presentations, without compromising core values of respect, dignity, and inclusion — helping scientists to submit more concise, respectful, patient-centered abstracts.
Check out the updated Language Guide here: https://t.co/C3QE03LWly
