Use of the word "crackdown" suggests there is some legitimacy here. It's an attack, one without any demonstrated scientific basis.

“only an estimated 1 in 5 eligible individuals in the United States received lung cancer screening (LCS) in 2024, and increasing current uptake to 100% could raise the number of lung cancer deaths prevented and life-years-gained by three-fold” #lcsm

On 1st August my diagnosis changed from NSCLC to #SCLC, ending my time on Osimertinib and starting chemo & immunotherapy.

My first diagnosis in 2021 came after months of pain and being told it was tennis elbow or sciatica, until further tests confirmed EGFR+ Stage 4 #lungcancer.

This is a truly difficult time of year for many, including me. Loss of loved ones, loneliness, despair, illness, depression, and so many other factors at play. Stick around if you can. Please. #lcsm #lungcancer #StayLive #cancer #suicide

“Lung cancer has the worst record for screening detection of all the cancers” David Carbone, MD, PhD, oncologist & chair of LC research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center…At least part of that is all the restrictions we have on LC screening.” #lcsm www.self.com/story/lung-c...

Ashley was a 37-year-old mother of two who just died as a result of #LungCancer. She deserved better. We all do. Why did our American government pull all Lung Cancer funding? Maybe Congress and POTUS can explain it to her children.

Really helpful piece from @gatewayc.bsky.social on #lungcancer in never-smokers.

Women in this group face a higher risk than men, yet symptoms are still overlooked or put down to something else.

🙏 Thanks for pointing to All You Need Is Lungs as a resource. #LCSM

Sylvie had back pain, shortness of breath & weight loss. She was told it was sciatica & sent home.

A scan finally showed a mass in her lung - it was stage 4 ALK+ #lungcancer that had spread to her bones, liver, spine & lymph nodes.

I screen for #LungCancer annually. So does my kid sister. Our mother died as a result of LC treatment. Most LC is caught at an advanced stage. Catch it in time. #StayAlive #lcsm
Did you know only 1 in 10 people at higher risk for #lungcancer get screened? Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. If caught early, lung cancer can be treated and survival rates can dramatically improve.

Reminiscing on last weekend's TCS NYC Marathon where Team LCRF showed up to represent the lung cancer community! This team has raised over $130,000 for research and we couldn't be more thankful for their efforts.

Sarah thought her #lungcancer symptoms were the menopause.

She was exhausted, dizzy and struggling with constant headaches. Even her neurologist thought it was menopause-related.

A CT head scan “just to rule anything out” found 6 brain mets. And in 2024, she was diagnosed with stage 4 EGFR+. #LCSM
