So special to meet, and have Her Royal Highness Princess Dina Mired of Jordan Princess Dina Mired as part of the STARS workshop to discuss Policy Advocacy with Lillian Leigh GAICD and Andrew Ciupek #WCLC23 #LCSM IASLC

Speak up for #equity at whichever table you sit on. Passionate presentation at 1st #WCLC23 by ⁦Abhijit Pal⁩ ⁦IASLC⁩ ⁦Lillian Leigh GAICD⁩ 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 ⁦South Western Sydney Local Health District⁩

MARS2 conclusively proves that EPD surgery for "resectable"mesothelioma results in worse outcomes than chemotherapy alone #WCLC23. Amazing study and presentation. Congrats Sanjay Popat Dr Riyaz Shah and teams

#WCLC23 Dr. Eric Lim Eric Lim presents the long awaited MARS2 trial: A Multicentre Randomised Trial Comparing (Extended) Pleurectomy Decortication vs No Radical Surgery for Mesothelioma. Endpoint is OS and they consulted pts to ensure benefit was meaningful.

A truly remarkable presentation of the MARS 2 results by surgeon Prof Eric Lim Eric Lim at this morning's Presidential Symposium. Thank you so much for demonstrating patient-centric care and the value of patient involvement in research design! #wclc23 IASLC #lcsm

Very interesting results from FLAURA2. Significant improvement in PFS across all subsets. But most benefit seen in pt with CNS mets and L858R. More AEs with chemo but ILD same 3-4%. I think new SoC in these subsets #WCLC23

Very interesting indeed, and a lot more discussions req'd with patients about the risks vs the benefits. Toxicity is real for osi, and higher with osi+chemo. Prof Yi-Long Wu has identified: psychological barriers are likely. #WCLC23 IASLC Jill Feldman #lcsm

I've been reflecting on all that I've had the privilege to learn from HRH Princess Dina Mird of Jordan Princess Dina Mired at IASLC #WCLC23 this week, and I'm fired up more than ever to tackle inequities. Medical advancements MUST not leave global citizens behind.

Not many people understand how important research is furthering treatments for #lungcancer. You not only got it but used your voice to help others too. Thank you for being a strong #advocate for all pts with cancer. You inspire us to do better! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

"Words Matter" is not just a catch phrase, it's a simple and profound truth to combat #stigma - says Jill Feldman To the medical community, please use non-stigmatising language. Find out more about the IASLC Language Guide here: iaslc.org/IASLCLanguageG… #LCSM

Oops 🙊 forgot my raspberry beret today! #COSA23. thank you 🙏🏽 COSA & POCOG for this generous recognition of my humble contribution to our field.

Having a parent pass away from non smoking related lung cancer years back, it was an emotional moment hearing consumer Lillian Leigh share her thoughts and speak to the first new national lung cancer screening program in nearly 20 years at #COSA2023. canceraustralia.gov.au/about-us/lung-…

Lillian Leigh GAICD highlights the need to connect primary & specialist cancer care- an issue identified by Victorian health staff & consumers in Australian Institute of Health Innovation’s #CanEngage Project.
