It’s true 🫢 I don’t care WHO you are, WHERE you’re from, WHAT you did… when it comes to ordering molecular profiling for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)‼️‼️
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with NSCLC, it’s so important to talk with your team about biomarker testing. This testing helps identify specific genetic characteristics of the cancer, which can guide treatment decisions and potentially lead to more effective therapies 🧬🎯
Unfortunately, studies show that between 20% to 40% of eligible patients DO NOT receive this important testing, with Black and Hispanic patients being about 20%- 30% and 10%-25% less likely, respectively, to undergo biomarker testing compared to White patients. This can result in missed opportunities for targeted treatments that could significantly improve outcomes!! 😮📣
Raising awareness about the importance of biomarker testing in non-small cell lung cancer is essential for ensuring that ALL patients, regardless of background and smoking status, have access to the best possible care. 💪🏽🙏🏽
If you haven’t discussed biomarker testing with your healthcare provider, I encourage you to bring it up during your next appointment. 🫁✅

🎯 Targeted therapy meets “natural” medicine — but not all combos are safe!
Some supplements can change how your cancer treatment works. 🌿💊

Today is #WorldLungCancerDay. Ilana Stromberg, the c-founder and board member of @thehappylungsproject is here to explain the significance of the new Lung Cancer Genetics Study that was launched last week.
Did you know that lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide?
While lung cancer research and targeted therapies have provided hope and progress for many, this study aims to learn more about the genetics behind the disease and its causes. Learn more at the link in our bio. #LCSM #WLCD24
Lung cancer awareness is going global! LUNGevity is excited to partner with cancer survivor, @seanswarner, as he takes on @thegreatworldrace - seven consecutive marathons, on each of the continents in the world, spreading the message that #AnyoneWithLungs can get #lungcancer. Learn Sean’s story and why this challenge is so important to him by visiting LUNGevity.org/seanswarner

Check out our #ASCO25 Science in Seconds! Dr. Charu Aggarwal discusses how a molecular assay may help identify people with NSCLC who could benefit from adj. chemotherapy. Learn more with the link in our bio. #NSCLC #lcsm
Last week at #ESMO24, we spoke with an expert about relatlimab plus nivolumab (Opdualag) and chemo for lung cancer. Findings from RELATIVITY-104 showed no major increase in toxicity. #LCSM #lungcancer https://www.oncnursingnews.com/view/adding-relatlimab-to-nivolumab-chemo-did-not-increase-toxicity
Thank you to CURE for letting us (@lungcancerresearchfoundation) take over your Instagram today! We appreciate the chance to talk about #LungCancer during #LCAM. 💙🫁 #LCSM
During #LungCancerAwarenessMonth and beyond, we recognize that every patient journey is unique.
Keith is a #LungCancer survivor who shares his story of facing an unexpected diagnosis and challenging treatment path in the hope that others will be inspired to go farther than they think is possible.

🌍✈️ Excited to kick off my next adventure with @lungevity 🔥 I’m flying to Prague for a TEDxUNYP talk, where I’ll share my journey and the incredible impact of perspective and how our words shape our future.
After that, there may be some other travel in Europe.
Stay tuned for updates, because I’m still running every day and training for the big event in 2 weeks.... running for a purpose and spreading awareness for lung cancer!
