Have to say that Medidata EDC Rave is not a system any investigator will ever rave about (now if they called it Rage…) It just reached a new level today for me as after 10+ yrs of use was just required to do a highly instructive training module on “how to activate my account”.

New lung cancer cases vary by state, and early diagnosis is key. The 2024 #StateOfLungCancer report explains how each state measures up and why it matters. Lung.org/solc

Lung cancer took the life of another one of my patients today, only 48. A Veteran. Spirit unbreakable, great sense of humor. Despite advances, another reminder of the need for more progress as research funding gets thinner. Where do we go? How do we get there?

Looks like diarrhea can still be a barrier to patients to benefit from it. Nice option nonetheless in this difficult group of disease.

🆕 Nature study on #lungcancer in never-smokers challenges long-held assumptions. ✅ Air pollution linked to key mutations ✅ EGFR most common in East Asia ❌ Secondhand smoke not a major factor - minimal genomic impact 68% of our EGFR+ UK members (2024 data) are never-smokers

We are not only in critical shortabe of drugs, but also critically short of hematologists/oncologists. ASCO predicted U.S. will be in shortage of 2,200 heme/oncologists by 2025 (i.e. Now). We need quick solutions. 🙏🙏🙏#ASCO ASCO

As a thoracic oncologist, I have seen hundreds of patients with lung cancer (NSCLC and SCLC) being treated under standard of care or a clinical trial (my passion). Lung cancer therapies significantly started to expand in the early 2010s. In recent weeks, we have had several
