If you ever climbed around trees and rocked as a child or ever, get to experience it again through these brilliant images and stories. goodreads.com/review/show/79…
Amazing but not enough! We want much more! Working on it every day is the only way. @UMRogelCancer so that’s what we do. Judith Tam ALK Kung Cancer Research Initiative rogelcancercenter.org/judith…
They’ve lived 10+ years with ALK-positive cancer.
That shouldn’t be rare—it should be the norm.
This #MakeAWillMonth, create a legacy that fuels research, hope & a future for all ALK+ patients.

Dr @sofiamerajver opens day 2 of the #ALKSummit25 discussing all of @UMRogelCancer’s increíble ALK+ cancer research.
Proud to have had a blood draw this year to advance this work. Our 2nd year running!
#StrongerTogether
Real progress towards understanding the actual metastasis potential cells in ALK+ LC. DNA is only a surrogate. Only live cells can kill patients. Let’s understand them much better and what drives them and let’s kill them. @UMRogelCancer
Mesenchymal (vimentin+) circulating tumor cells (#CTCs) may be progostic for progression in ALK+ #NSCLC. Great to see more non-invasive tests for progression. Collaboration between @NagrathSunitha Dr. Yuru Chen & Dr. Angel Qin @UMRogelCancer #AACR25 @ALKPositiveinc

This is a truly exciting potential option for ALK once other options exhausted. Love the aim of repurposing drugs which can help get patients the treatments they need faster.

What if a leukemia drug could help treat ALK+ lung cancer?
A new trial at @UMRogelCancerCtr is exploring gilteritinib—FDA-approved for leukemia—as a way to overcome resistance in ALK+ NSCLC.

We still use some of the same drugs my Dad got when I was 15. They are good drugs for other cancers but nor great on lung cancer. We r inventing new drugs, 2b reported soon. #moreresearchmorelife
#lcam @UMRogelCancer We want cures! Total elimination or minimal disease
The quest for cancer cures is personal. Like for Dr @sofiamerajver who lost her dad to cancer when she was 15.
Its why Dr. Merajver is dedicated to increasing the quality & length of life for ALK+ #lungcancer patients & effecting real cures.

Thank you!! Working hard every day to further improve on this work @LyssiotisLab @ArulChinnaiyan
@LyssiotisLab cancer cells are scavengers and foragers; key role of lysosomes and lysosomal processes; lipid metabolism #AACRtumorenviron24
Good bye X. I try to do good and advance science to help humanity. This social platform is not where I can help the most. See you where it is 💙

When Billie @dimplesNOpimple was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, her world changed over night. It's hard to make plans for uncertain future.
But research is a passport into a brighter future.

In 2020, approximately 2.2 million new cases of #lungcancer were diagnosed worldwide. Despite this high incidence, global efforts continue to advance prevention, early detection & treatment options. Together, we can work towards a future w/fewer cases and better outcomes! #LCAM24
