‼️ 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.

People who don't follow cancer research often ask me why we haven't cured cancer. That perception masks a wonderful reality: We make amazing, stepwise progress every year, and the result is that many people live much longer today than they would have previously.

Right now we're in the thick of the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the biggest research meeting on new cancer medicines, and this morning a bunch of really important studies dropped. I'm going to review them here.

This first image is the result for daraxonrasib, a treatment for pancreatic cancer that is generating consdirable excitement. The green line is the probability of living for patients who got the new drug; the gray one is the chemo control group.

If you follow cancer drugs, a chart like this will make your breath hitch a little. I'm going to review these and some other data here.
