Lung cancer is rising in young, non-smoking women yet many face misdiagnosis & delays, because it isn’t expected in people their age. This #InternationalWomensDay, let’s make #lungcancer in young, non-smoking women part of the conversation. 🙏 to our ALK+ UK commmunity for sharing their stories.

At @btog.bsky.social 2026 we’re sharing an evaluation of the See Through the Symptoms #lungcancer awareness campaign. It was developed by jointly by ALK+ UK, EGFR+ UK & the Ruth Strauss Foundation to encourage HCPs to consider lung cancer in people with persistent or unexplained symptoms. #LCSM

There’s growing agreement in the research that non-smoking #lungcancer is increasing and that our approaches to understanding and early detection haven’t kept pace. This Trends in Cancer piece brings a lot of that thinking together in one place. #LCSM 🔗 www.cell.com/trends/cance...

What if lung cancer wasn’t one of the less survivable cancers? This week is Less Survivable Cancers Awareness Week (12–16 Jan). #Lungcancer is one of these cancers, with outcomes still driven by late diagnosis, missed symptoms, & gaps in research & access. Earlier diagnosis can change survival.

This #LungCancer Awareness Month we wanted to focus on self-care - everyday things that help us get through the tough days. We didn’t expect how many of our volunteers would talk about their pets! So, we’re taking a moment for the furry supporters who make the hard days a bit lighter. #LCSM

On 1st August my diagnosis changed from NSCLC to #SCLC, ending my time on Osimertinib and starting chemo & immunotherapy. My first diagnosis in 2021 came after months of pain and being told it was tennis elbow or sciatica, until further tests confirmed EGFR+ Stage 4 #lungcancer. #LCSM

New in JAMA: large study shows many diagnosed with #lungcancer would never have been offered screening - often because they were younger or didn’t match the “expected” profile. Not just a US issue.

By the time Jade was diagnosed with ALK+ #lungcancer, she’d been visiting her GP for four years with symptoms no one linked to lung cancer. If you’ve had a persistent cough, hoarseness or tiredness that won’t go away - don’t ignore it. Anyone can get lung cancer. 💟 #AllYouNeedIsLungs #LCAM

🆕 UK study (MEDLEY) could change how #lungcancer is diagnosed. Researchers at the Uni of Leeds, funded by NIHR are testing whether people with lung symptoms should get a CT scan instead of a chest X-ray. Chest X-rays can give false negatives - showing everything looks fine when it isn’t. #LCSM
