Superb talk on biomarkers for early detection of #lungcancer by frankmccaughan. Review of CTCs, ctDNA, proteins, CancerSEEK and antibodies. Also ongoing work incorporating machine learning. Exciting area that is not there yet but approaching clinical application. #BTOG22 #LCSM

If CT biopsy increases risk of #LungCancer recurrence should we be doing more #ENB Navigational Bronchoscopy instead? bmjopenrespres.bmj.com/content/7/1/e0… #BTOG22

Interesting trial - see Prof. Akiko Iwasaki thread on oral camostat in early COVID-19. We showed topical admin (e.g.nasal spray) blocks infection in vitro - bonus high++ local camostat levels compared to tablet! Very cheap and safe....life-science-alliance.org/content/5/4/e2…

The NCI is launching a large randomized clinical trial to evaluate the performance of MCED assays (VANGUARD). The NHS is running a comparable study in the UK. In the meantime I worry about the costs of working up false positives like the example Dr. Schrag discussed in her talk.

We are really thrilled to publish our new work in Cancer Cell in collaboration with Prof JP Martinez-Barbera and Dr S Haston (UCL) and Prof J Gil (Imperial College London). Senescence can definitively be a hallmark of cancer and drive lung tumorigenesis!👇
