ALK Positive Lung Cancer UK’s Post

There have been many scientific advances in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, yet it is Europe’s leading cause of cancer-related mortality, and so great need remains to accelerate progress for those affected by this disease. Recently we partnered with The Health Policy Partnership to do just that – convening leading lung cancer experts and advocates across Europe to discuss where we can identify opportunities to improve survival. Early detection, targeted innovative treatments and care are key opportunities to improve patient outcomes and survival. By working together with the lung cancer community, we can find solutions that truly make a difference.   Catch up on the conversation below! #LungCancer #InFrontOfCancer #MyCompany

The new policy brief by the Lung Ambition Alliance Middle East and Africa Chapter uses the Lung Cancer Policy Network's screening implementation framework and applies it to the regional context. Recognising the unique challenges and disparities in lung cancer outcomes across the Middle East and Africa, this effort seeks to create a tailored framework that enhances early detection, reduces lung cancer mortality, and improves patient outcomes. This initiative is a significant step towards transforming lung cancer prevention and management in our region. We call on healthcare professionals, policymakers, and community leaders to join us in this effort.

People diagnosed with and at high risk for #LungCancer face unique challenges linked to stigma. Research shows that the majority of lung cancer patients experience stigma, leading to increased psychosocial distress, self-blame, and isolation. This stigma extends to family members and caregivers, creating barriers to effective risk reduction and early detection. It impacts every phase of the lung cancer continuum. Reducing lung cancer stigma requires collective effort. The American Cancer Society NLCRT created the Lung Cancer Stigma-- Communications Assessment Tool (LCS-CAT) to help organizations evaluate and modify the language, imagery, and contexts used to engage the lung cancer community to promote empathy and optimism. Together, we can eliminate stigma and its adverse effects. Explore the LCS-CAT today to help create change: https://bit.ly/48uIM5V #LCAM #LungCancerAwarenessMonth

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month 🫁 This month, we stand united in raising awareness about lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. It’s a time to support those affected, advance early detection efforts, and amplify the importance of research for more effective treatments. Lung cancer often goes undetected until advanced stages, making awareness and screening critical. As healthcare professionals, caregivers, and advocates, we each have a role in helping people recognize the symptoms, risk factors, and available support options. Together, we can work towards a world where lung cancer is detected early, treated effectively, and ultimately, prevented. Let’s keep the conversation going and bring hope to all those affected by this disease. #LungCancerAwarenessMonth #EarlyDetection #HealthcareInnovation #Research #LungCancerAwareness

You are not alone in this journey. One way cancers such as lung cancer are discovered early can be from an incidental finding on a radiology scan. Radiologists are trained to look for cancer even if it's not suspected. Unfortunately, sometimes potential cancer is overlooked, leaving the cancer undiscovered and left to grow and spread unchecked. Our office has seen many cases like this, and our attorneys have held healthcare providers to account and provided our clients and their families compensation. If you or a loved one suspect that cancer should have been diagnosed earlier, please reach out for a free consultation. #lungcancerawarenessmonth #attorneyswhocare #protectingpatientsandtheirfamilies #chicagolawyer #medicalmalpractice #personalinjuryattorney #cancerlawyer
