Our community mourns the loss of Chad, who lived with RET+ lung cancer for 2.5 years. He loved deeply, lifted others and faced every setback with courage. His passing is a heartbreaking reminder: we still have a long way to go. Chad deserved more time. #LungCancerAwareness

Cover of The Lancet, August 9 2025 issue. Quote: "Adagrasib demonstrated statistically significant improvements in progression-free survival over docetaxel in patients with previously treated KRASG12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer."

The oncogenic KRAS mutation has been the subject of intense investigation. In The Lancet, a new phase 3 trial reports on adagrasib versus docetaxel in KRASG12C-mutated non-small-cell lung cancer.

I’ve had radiation in similar areas. Thankfully radiation sessions are quite short. He may cope better than he expects ❤️

You’re not an idiot Dave - just got addicted when tobacco was everywhere! So glad you are getting screened!

Plant-based diets and the risk of lung cancer: a large prospective cohort study - European Journal of Nutrition Purpose Plant-based diets are increasingly recognized for cancer prevention, yet their specific impact on lung cancer (LC) risk remains insufficiently examined. This study aims to assess the relations...

🥦🫁 More plants, lower cancer risk?

A large US study found people who ate more plant-based foods had a lower risk of getting lung cancer – even among smokers.

Benefits of smoking cessation written on a clock face

Was talking to a student today about the benefits of #smokingcessation. I always refer back to this chart which I find so compelling.

Quitting today has both IMMEDIATE & long term benefits. It ⬆️ survival by 🔟➕yrs & saves $13k/yr in the cost of 🚬 & health related expenses. 🚭

The mystery rise of lung cancer in non-smokers The number of lung cancer cases in people who have never smoked is increasing. The disease is different from lung cancer caused by smoking, so what causes it?

Anyone with lungs can develop lung cancer - AND at ANY age.

I was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer at 43 - with widespread mets throughout my body & brain - despite never having smoked.

The lifesaving promise of a new national screening program for Australia's deadliest cancer The five-year survivorship for lung cancer is 26 per cent. That is too low. The launch of the National Screening Program is just the start.

We like to believe that our conscious or unconscious bias against people who smoke/d isn’t evident.

It’s time to change the conversation and reflect on our biases. Everyone deserves hope, compassion and respect, regardless of their smoking history and cancer type.

Australia's deadliest cancer to get new screening program After years of lobbying from patients, the first ever national lung cancer screening program will roll out next month for people who have a significant history of smoking.

Had my good friend Anne Fidler had access to a free national lung cancer screening program, her Stage 4 lung cancer could have been found & treated earlier.

I woke up with a swollen face - now I have stage four lung cancer George Dudnik, 36, was initially told he had mumps after waking up at 3am with a swollen face in December 2023.

Australians - including people who have never smoked (like me) - have a 4.9% risk of being diagnosed with lung cancer by age 85.

George, a 36 year old UK-based yoga teacher, was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer.
