#WhiteRibbonRelay Honored to land DTW - Detroit Metro fresh from the NYU hand off at the annual ACS National Lung Cancer Roundtable DC meeting & heading to University of Michigan chapter - the enthusiasm & passion of youth committed to action to change the face of #lungcancer as we’ve known it through early detection is unstoppable!

We had an incredible End of Year Update meeting this past weekend where our national team & college chapters presented their advocacy work from this year🌟 A special thank you to all the ALCSI advisors, #lungcancer survivors, and advocates who joined us to support our team🤍

We appreciate TODAY for raising awareness of cancer screenings. However, we would have loved to have seen #lungcancer included. Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer. But only 4.5% of high risk Americans are getting screened. We need a segment on lung cancer screening! #LCAM🤍

We are incredibly honored to be hosting Dr. David Baldwin on our next Distinguished Lecture Series on January 17th at 11am EST 🌟 Please join us to learn about Dr. Baldwin’s pioneering work in the UK CT lung cancer screening trial and more! Zoom Link: partners.zoom.us/j/8363461317

Had a blast this chilly Saturday at the White Ribbon Relay with The White Ribbon Project™ celebrating the arrival of ALCSI!

Arvind Kumar gave a phenomenal presentation today at #STS2024 on the poor uptake of adjuvant chemotherapy for stage II-III #lungcancer in the U.S. His findings highlight the major limitations associated with adjuvant therapy strategies for stage II-III NSCLC.

Congratulations to Dr. Yang for being inducted to the American Association for Thoracic Surgery and for his promotion to Associate Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School!!! Thank you for inspiring us every day and for your incredible leadership!!! Jeff Yang MD FACS #AATS2024

Data from our DELUGE cohort validate work by Alexandra Potter @chifujeffyang showing lung screening criteria including ppl with 20 years of smoking history (regardless of pack-years) reduces race-based disparities #ASCO24 #lcsm

Really important stage shift shown in Taiwan National Lung screen program. Bravo Dr PC Yang! Family hx is a key risk factor. Excited to collaborate with Allison Chang and Jill Feldman to open a clinical trial soon focused on screening in those w/ a positive family hx #ASCO24

Saturday morning starts with the First ALCSI Summit about lung cancer screening and early detection With Dr. Lecia Sequist, MD, MPH as the Keynote Speaker Led by Jeff Yang MD FACS and many great student leaders.

Really appreciate the terrific talk by Erica Warner, ScD on the MGH Fire Health Study at the #ALCSIPlusOne summit!! ALCSI’s really excited about her work with firefighters & we look forward to talking to more people who are at #lungcancer risk due to occupational exposure this year.

The ALCSI students fill my cup to the brim every time, energizing and inspiring me. The future is bright. Thank you for your leadership Alexandra Potter Deepti Srinivasan Jeff Yang MD FACS Priyanka Senthil
