Lung cancer is hard to spot. At OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, we know catching it early makes a big difference. #LungCancer can be treated and cured – if you spot it early. Screening is the key. It’s fast and easy. Make a difference for yourself. You’ll breathe easier: spr.ly/6017uto8f

Thank you Dr. Liu for highlighting our work! Unexpected resistance mutations can develop in patients with lung cancer on targeted therapies, making it important we do molecular testing at progression. #lcsm Jyoti D Patel Northwestern Hematology/Oncology Fellowship OHSU Knight Cancer Institute

Some reflections on implementation of liquid biopsy for cancer care JCO Precision Oncology. Authors note that new assays can decrease or deepen disparities and we are at a fork in the road. Need to simplify ordering and interpretation and address reimbursement. ascopubs.org/doi/abs/10.120…
