Today we’re announcing a new study to advance research on lung cancer. While lung cancer research and targeted therapies have provided hope and progress for many, this study aims to learn more about the genetics behind the disease and its causes. More:

Jill Feldman, Lung Cancer Patient, Advocate and Co-Founder @EGFRResisters penned a powerful article in CURE magazine on the importance of 23andMe’s Lung Cancer Genetics Study. “The partnership between 23andMe and the lung cancer community marks a shift toward more inclusive, patient-centered research. It recognizes that the voices and experiences of those directly impacted by the disease should shape the direction of lung cancer research.” Learn more about our research study:

Last month – in honor of Lung Cancer Awareness Month – our CEO, @annewoj23, and her sister Janet spoke with @katiecouric about the lack of lung cancer research and funding. Anne and Janet’s sister, former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, was diagnosed with lung cancer and tragically passed away earlier this year at the age of 56. Many people aren’t aware that lung cancer is the world's most deadly form of cancer and kills more people each year in the United States than colon, breast, and prostate cancer combined. In July 2024, 23andMe launched its 23andMe Lung Cancer Genetics Study, with the hope of understanding more about how genetics can influence lung cancer in order to improve detection, risk reduction, and care. With more research, we hope to find ways to prevent, detect and treat this deadly disease. Learn more: #LungCancer #GeneticResearch
Susan Wojcicki was an incredible person, and her life was tragically cut short when she passed away last August after a two-year battle with non-small cell lung cancer. She was just 56 years old. A true trailblazer in the tech world, Susan helped build and lead both Google and YouTube. Her sisters, Anne and Janet Wojcicki, join me to reflect on Susan's life, how she became the "CEO of her cancer," and their ongoing dedication to advancing the fight against lung cancer. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women, and Susan's legacy continues to inspire efforts to change those odds. Watch our full conversation here:
