3. Get biomarker tested
4. Find your support network (old and new)
5. Share your story

Fact or Fiction: There is a relationship btwn exercise & #lungcancer
FACT: Cancer, its treatments, & the methods used to manage symptoms cause muscle loss. Exercise can help prevent muscle loss & improve quality of life while undergoing treatment. Even walking helps! #ILCSC21
Is it HOPE or HYPE? Is it FACT or FICTION? @jHeymach from @MDAnderson is walking us through the real progress we have to look forward to in #lungcancer, and how to detect hyped, unsubstantiated updates at #ILCSC21.
Thank you @brownbeansprout for walking us through some of LUNGevity's great support and survivorship services! You can check out everything Katie mentioned, including education and support resources and opportunities to find community, at https://t.co/9Oo0nfEosy #ILCSC21
If you have EGFR #lungcancer, tejaspatilMD says get a 2nd opinion from a specialist if you progress on your targeted therapy. Always feel empowered to get 2nd opinion at time of diagnosis for peace of mind or if you don’t think you are being tested for enough mutations #ILCSC21
Dr. Camidge talked acquired resistance & 2 types of progression: in body or in brain. If brain but not body, not enough drug getting in. If body, determine if you benefited & stopped or never benefited at all. Biopsy will help determine if new pathway or secondary driver #ILCSC21
Take action! Harness what you learn at #ILCSC21 & continue to spread awareness of #lungcancer by being an advocate through the LUNGevity’s Action Network. Hear about the importance of advocacy & how you can get started in a few simple steps https://t.co/32ewXTKpxB #LCSM
Our #ILCSC21 experts emphasized treating #lungcancer is individualized & based on patient’s individual cancer & circumstances. Bottom line: you need to be part of convo w/ your medical team to determine what treatment is best for you
PS: We had so much fun learning from you!
When testing your cancer for biomarkers like #PDL1 or #EGFR, @FordePatrick says there is no good or bad answer, just the correct info about what drives your #lungcancer. This helps treat your cancer best way possible - #immunotherapy, #targetedtherapy, #chemo, etc #ILCSC21
While currently the main utility for #liquidbiopsies is to help newly diagnosed patients know their tumor profile, @christine_lovly hopes they will one day also be used to complement CT scans to better assess response to treatment and determine how well drug is working #ILCSC21
SCLC expert @LaurenByersMD shared ongoing research to identify and understand biomarkers in #smallcell #lungcancer. Researchers are looking to develop tests to find biomarkers in order to predict response to therapies & match patients to specific targeted treatments #ILCSC21
Thank you to our experts @LaurenByersMD @christine_lovly @FordePatrick for answering questions on our Ask the Experts panel this morning at #ILCSC21. They covered #biomarkers in SCLC and early stage #lungcancer, liquid biopsies, imaging & brain mets, length of treatment & more!
Grab your morning beverage of choice and join us for Day 2 of #ILCSC21! We’ll be kicking off today with a networking session, giving you the opportunity to connect with other patients with similar diagnoses! Don’t miss out --> https://t.co/UOasYuJrgw!
What’s the next big thing in #precisionmedicine? “Leveraging targeted therapies for cure & tackling acquired resistance to treatments so #lungcancer can be treated as chronic disease,” says Dr. Levy. Thanks for a great, hope-filled talk @benlevylungdoc @hopkinskimmel #ILCSC21
“Leave no gene behind” says @benlevylungdoc @hopkinskimmel. He recommends every patient with late stage non-small lung cancer receive both liquid & tissue biopsies to determine targetable mutations in their tumors and eligibility for targeted therapies #ILCSC21 #biomarkertesting
