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.

#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.

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
