17 yrs ago today, Drs Soda, Mano, et al's paper in @Nature discovering ALK #lungcancer set the stage for the development of multiple generations of ALK TKIs, transforming lives of our community.

Grateful for this & all research. #ResearchSavesLives

@TOGAANZ It’s a shame that’s the same day as the Brisbane Cancer Conference. Hopefully they’ll record it.

@RareCancers @ProfDMThomas @markbutler Thank you for speaking for all of us who need access to life saving medications. We wouldn’t all fit in @markbutler1978’s office. The work you do is appreciated by the patient community

Staggering, really.
While many of us fondly remember the simple times (of chemotherapy only), this is progress!
