‼️ Landmark #lungcancer research published today in Cell
Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute and UCL have discovered a 14-protein blood signature that predicts lung cancer more than 5 years before diagnosis, works in never-smokers, and could identify who benefits from prevention treatment.
People with high levels of these proteins were the ones who actually benefited from a drug to damp that inflammation down, cutting their lung cancer risk nearly in half.
This could finally give us something lung cancer has never had: a way to prevent it in the people most at risk.

👏Yesterday marked the end of the EORTC ECI Programme for Early Career Investigators: 9 sessions, 40 ECIs!
EORTC fosters young doctors in clinical & translational cancer research.
Interested in becoming an ECI?

Congrats to all participants of the @IASLC Reviewer Workshop! 🎉 We hope the skills gained will serve you throughout your career. Special thanks to our faculty, IASLC, JTO & JTO CRR for supporting reviewer excellence. #IASLC#PeerReview
What happens when Young Lung Cancer minds from @EORTC meet in Paris?
Brains, baguettes & bevs at brasserie Circus! 🧠 🥖 🍷 🍻
Science, collaboration and connections with friends beyond the sessions. #EORTClung#ELCC25#Younginvestigators#LungCancer#EORTC
New review investigates the role of sex differences in NSCLC patients with driver fusions treated with TKIs. Findings show no significant survival differences by sex, but highlight a knowledge gap in sex-specific responses and toxicity data.

Quitting smoking within 6 months of a cancer diagnosis improves survival outcomes, with the greatest benefits observed in those who enter cessation programs promptly. https://t.co/YhbBrdWVHQ
Excited to share our latest paper on clinical outcomes of KRAS subtypes in NSCLC! Big thanks to the lung group and my mentor, Dr. @PrelajArsela@IstTumori for making this possible.

Today we launched the "ISLB Global Survey: Oncologist Attitudes and Practices on Liquid Biopsy" to collect worldwide data on the use of liquid biopsy in clinical practice!
Help us sharing the survey with all the oncologists you know :)

Excited to share our study on ALK-rearranged NSCLC! We report 3 cases of LCNEC transformation post-ALK-TKI, marking the first reported rate of histologic transformation (4%).
Oncologists, be aware of this resistance mechanism! @IstTumori@ClinicalLung

Session on targeted therapy chaired by Drs. @Ritalepp@giusvisc@claudia_proto with @LuisPaz_Ares discussing #EGFR: FLAURA2 vs MARIPOSA - longer PFS but cost of toxicity & infusions. Many prognostic factors, need predictive ones. Ivonescimab - is this the future of IO for EGFR?
Why do some patients benefit less than others from precision cancer medicine? We are excited to share our paper "Mixed responses to targeted therapy driven by chromosomal instability through p53 dysfunction and genome doubling” out in @NatureComms. https://t.co/e5AYdyrnbx 🧵
