The Fight of Our Lives: Confronting the Unmet Need in Lung Cancer
Medical advancements, over the past year, have been game changing for lung cancer patients. In 1971, President Richard Nixon declared war on cancer, and now, we finally have a war on lung cancer. In 2015, the FDA approved 7 new treatments for lung cancer patients, and 5 of these approvals came over a 2-month period.
Early Study Results Find High Proportion of Young Lung Cancer Patients With Targetable Mutations
The preliminary results showed that 76 percent of study subjects under 40 had druggable mutations.
Genomics of Young Lung Cancer and INHERIT Studies Accepted for Presentation at ASCO
Two Addario Lung Cancer Medical Institute research studies funded in part by the Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation chosen for presentation at the May/June 2015 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting
International Partnership to Address Lung Cancer Epidemic
According to a recent study in the Annals of Oncology, lung cancer fatalities are set to overtake breast cancer deaths among European women for the first time this year. It is predicted lung cancer deaths for women in Europe will reach 14.24 per 100,000 of the population in 2015.
