A significant number of women eventually diagnosed with lung cancer (LC) undergo mammography but are not screened for lung cancer at the time #radiology #breastcancer #lungcancer #LCS #mammography buff.ly/fHCtojI
Integrating breast and lung cancer screening could identify LC earlier
Leveraging the reach of mammography programs may improve lung cancer screening uptake.

Somewhere between 10 and 20% of patients have EGFR+ lung cancer. It’s more common in women and people of Asian descent. It occurs often in a different part of the lung than a smoking-related cancer (mine was in my upper left lung). Thankfully, there are targeted genetic drugs, like the one I take.

The Women and Lung Cancer Research and Preventative Services Act passed the House yesterday. Now it's time for the Senate to act on it. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for women, globally and in the U.S., with rising numbers of nonsmoking, younger women being diagnosed every year.

Tony Goldwyn & I have something in common. We both lost our mothers to #LungCancer.
Their lives could have been saved by CT screening. I do it annually, as does my kid sister. We know LC is usually diagnosed advanced stage. It’s important to catch it early.
Pass it on.
