Same drug. New shape. Big difference for patients.
China's NMPA just approved a tablet version of selpercatinib (Retevmo) — the world's first highly selective RET inhibitor with CNS activity — expanding on its 2022 capsule approval. 🧪

We're only one week away from the Free to Breathe Kansas City Walk! Come and be part of the movement to support #LungCancer research on Saturday, Sept 26. We can't wait to see you! Sign up at lcrf.org/kc.
🧬 One gene variant raises lung cancer risk
A US study of more than 3.3 million people linked the EGFR T790M gene variant to lung cancer risk, with no link to 17 other cancers. Matters for families with lung cancer.

What raising funds for research via the Free to Breathe Walk means to Valerie: “Research means finding a cure for lung cancer, and finding treatments that do more harm to cancer and less harm to the rest of the body. It means saving lives.” #LungCancer #ButterflySummer lcrf.org/anywhere

Today's @science.org cover: a rare inherited variant that raises #lungcancer odds 25x, ~60x in people who never smoked.
#23andMe + @danafarber.bsky.social found 641 carriers in 10M+ participants and traced it to an 1800s founder event in Southern Appalachia.
Congrats to all including Dozie Ubosi 🎉 - a grad student & flash‑talk presenter at our recent Annual Retreat, supervised by our @sinclaircri.bsky.social associate member Dr. Xian Wang & Dr. Yongjun Lai #SmithEngQueens - on receiving a Research Training Award. Well done! #LungCancer #CancerResearch

This week, Germany announced a new network to help deliver #lungcancer screening in practice.
The network links 25 radiology screening sites with specialist second-reading centres in Heidelberg, supporting consistent reporting and follow-up.
Screening is about delivery as well as policy. #LCSM
Could alectinib be used before surgery for ALK+ #lungcancer?
In the phase 2 NAUTIKA1 study, 55.8% had a major pathological response after 8 weeks of alectinib before surgery.
It’s early research, but an interesting new direction for ALK+ treatment.
Every #WomenWednesday, we are spotlighting women who are making a difference in the lung cancer community – in labs, at hospitals, and by sharing their stories.
Nadia tells about the women she lost to #LungCancer – and why she champions research for all the parients who deserve more time.
