Today is the last day for patients and caregivers to share your experiences with biomarker testing for NSCLC. This survey is supported by IASLC, LUNGevity Foundation, International Society of Liquid Biopsy, Lung Cancer Europe and the Israeli Lung Cancer Foundation (@ShaniShilo). #LCSM #precisionmedicine #lungcancer

#QOL data from #CM816 presented at #AATS2024 are very clear:

- collecting long-term #PROs is feasible
- Neoadj Nivo doesn’t affect #QOL up to 3 years
-no clinical difference in #pain and #QOL after VATS and Open surgery
- less #pain &discomfort after surgery in nivo arm

An-in depth look at what scientists know so far about how #H5N1 transmits between cows and why more human infections could already be happening, plus the many burning questions we don’t yet have answers to, from STAT’ Helen Branswell 🇨🇦 & Megan Molteni:

Because some are asking me to translate this, the very brief version is that massive inflammation & cell death occurred in heart, lungs, brain, & eyes of cats who drank unpasteurized milk from cows with #H5N1 . In all, >50% of cats at that dairy farm died. #MedTwitter #BirdFlu

A great opportunity to be support the efforts of @cancergrand's growing global team of scientists, doctors and advocates working to end #cancer

1/ There are still lots of unanswered questions re: H5N1 bird flu

🔹How quickly is the virus mutating and evolving?

A PB2 E627K mutation was found in the human case in Texas, but not seen in birds or cows.

“Here we present a case of histologic transformation from non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) to carcinosarcoma, possibly representing a new manifestation of osimertinib resistance”

The postmortem exams of cats who died of #H5N1 #BirdFlu on dairy farms show devastating effects on the heart, lung, eyes, & brain.

‼️Do not consume raw (unpasteurized) dairy products.

Use of lurbinectidin in patients with #SCLC #lungcancer #LCSM Solange Peters Benjamin Besse Vivek Subbiah, MD SmallCellSMASHERS

Pretty striking. Half of the cats that ingested raw milk or colostrum died, with lesions in the brain, heart, lungs, inflammation of the retinas and blindness.

Humans should not consume raw, unpasteurized milk. #H5N1

🫁Exciting insights from Charles Swanton at #BTOG24 on the link between air pollution and lung cancer initiation, shedding light on tumor formation mechanisms in never smokers:

Phase 2 results of the DESTINY-Lung01 study suggest that trastuzumab deruxtecan could address an unmet need in those with #HER2 -overexpressing #NSCLC & warrants further investigation 🫁

Up to 100 preliminary #tornado reports for the tornado outbreak yesterday in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Texas with another high-end tornado outbreak possible today over the southern Plains

Tornado intercept by train north side of Lincoln, NE. If it was moving, the damage would have been far worse
