Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, causing approximately 1.8 million deaths in 2022.

📝 This Review discusses the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of lung cancer in nonsmoking individuals.

📌New guideline (@AAB_IP & @IASLC S&ED Committee) shares evidence-based recommendations on biopsy techniques for biomarker testing in lung cancer.

So thrilled to join @IASLC S&ED Committee and collaborate with amazing colleagues worldwide!☺️

[JTO & JTO CRR @JTOonline]

@AAB_IP and the IASLC evaluated the safety and adequacy of comprehensive biomarker testing 🧬 for frequently used intrathoracic biopsy techniques.

📌Another important study in press @JTOonline by @JinMoGoo1 @snuh_official

✅Biennial lung cancer screening shows a notable burden of interval cancers
✅Annual screening may be more suitable for Asian individuals with a heavy smoking history

[So Yeon (Lydia) Kim, MD, MS @Lydia_SoYeonKim]

🔐Key Findings
✅SSN growth: 16.9%
✅Lung cancer diagnosis: 7.9% → all stage 0–I, curatively treated
✅Risk factors for growth: Part-solid type, larger size, bubble lucency, pleural retraction
✅Patient outcomes: Neither nodule count nor growth affected survival

[So Yeon (Lydia) Kim, MD, MS @Lydia_SoYeonKim]

📌Important study led by @kimyw_snu_pulm evaluating the trajectories of multifocal SSNs in patients with surgically resected subsolid LUAD

Enthusiasm is growing for lung cancer screening for people who have never smoked.

Experience in East Asia has made the harms obvious: more surgery, more complications, and more overdiagnosis and overtreatment, argue Wayne Gao and colleagues
