Congrats Brooks Udelsman! Tumor size is a continuous variable. Path measurements are often rounded up/down to nearest 0.5cm. These cut offs impact stage and adjuvant therapy. ➡️ We should care less about arbitrary size cut offs and more about biology for adjuvant therapy decisions.

There are so many aspects to the data here that we didn’t have space to get into. Look carefully at: 1️⃣KM curves by subgroup (forget lobe v sub lobe) just differences in survival overall 2️⃣Zubrod=0 group 3️⃣Nodal upstaging, lobe didn’t matter (systemic therapy response prob does)

Waking up thankful for the support of Rick Lee 이재방 In 2021 he stepped in to garner support for our first health fair. Yesterday, three years later, he’s still supporting community health. That’s why we’ve named an award in his honor. The Dr. Rick Lee Community Health Award

Last week, our Appalachian State University ALCSI chapter hosted an amazing #WhiteRibbon Build and Card Making event. During this event, they were able to educate the community about #lungcancer and raise #lungcancerawareness! Amazing job!

Navigational bronchoscopy at least non-inferior diagnostic yield compared to transthoracic needle biopsy for lung nodules & significantly fewer complications Is robotic bronch the new standard for lung nodule biopsy? I believe it is

Drew Moghanaki Jeff Yang MD FACS JAMA Internal Medicine Well here’s our answer… My only hope is that they rejected our letter and at least one other letter that I am aware of from reputable authors because they plan on publishing other similarly critical and evidence-based responses. We’ll see…

Thank you to Live Lung LiveLung for highlighting the need to expand lung cancer screening criteria - to help capture ALL “at risk” individuals, while balancing the risks of potential harm or false positives. Raymond Osarogiagbon, MBBS, FACP Nasser Hanna Michael Gieske, M.D. Jeff Yang MD FACS ALCSI
