Thrilled to see our @MontefioreNYC@EinsteinMed teams' efforts at early detection for lung cancer highlighted in the Cancer Letter! Still lots more work to do!
Early detection changes the patient journey for patients w/ cancer and enables cures and improved quality of life!
Lung Cancer Awareness Month is coming to a close, but the reality is that #LungCancer deserves attention every day of the year. Let's head into the coming year full of hope & determined to make a difference for everyone affected by this disease. #LCAM2024 https://t.co/4zkbbijioQ
Folded my 1st cranes for pts completing #radiation this week @MDAndersonNews.
I fold cranes as a small private gesture; when I give them I explain they are a symbol of hope & healing. Paper -like hope- is both fragile & incredibly strong. It's a tiny thing but I do it with love.
Although we have seen a rise in non-tobacco related #lungcancer, tobacco- related health disparities in cancer and cardiovascular disease & its impact on marginalized communities and global health matters.
Still catching my breath after an incredible week of lung cancer events @EinsteinMed@MontefioreNYC!
Highlighted by remarkable talk by Heidi & Pierre Onda from @TheWRP4LC!
We are committed to changing the story of patients w/ lung CA in the #Bronx.

When lung cancer is detected early, patients benefit from expanded treatment options that can improve quality of life, reduce associated costs and transform the disease into a treatable condition. #DetectEarlySaveLives#LungCancerAwarenessMonth
Black Americans, especially men, are at higher risk for #LungCancer. Learn the facts and download our complimentary guide at https://t.co/Q5mHyB6wIe. #LCAM2024#FridayFacts
MECCC also hosted an event to raise awareness about the importance of #LungCancer screening. Despite lung cancer being the leading cause of #cancer deaths, only 6% of high-risk individuals in NY are screened. #ThisIsHealthEquity

#DidYouKnow? #LungCancer claims as many lives as breast, pancreatic, and prostate cancers combined. Learn the facts and share them during Lung Cancer Awareness Month: https://t.co/41iim4ZCdu #LCAM2024
This was an incredible tribute to our patients!
Few things are more stressful than waiting in a hospital for a sick loved one to recover. Thanks @MontefioreNYC and @EinsteinMed for committing to make that just a little bit easier. ❤️
Though we as lung cancer patients want to downplay the importance of addressing smoking due to the stigma, the reality is that it is a significant factor and deserves attention.
Lung Cancer Affects Non-Smokers Too! 15-20% of #lungcancer cases occur in individuals w/no history of smoking. Other risk factors like air pollution, radon & certain occupational exposures contribute to lung cancer risk says the ALA. Stay informed! #LCAM24#KnowYourRisk#LCSM
📢 Did you know that public awareness campaigns have significantly boosted #lungcancer screening uptake? Countries implementing these initiatives are seeing more individuals get screened, which allows for earlier diagnoses & better treatment outcomes says, the ALA! #LCAM24#LCSM
