. @Florez_Lab @NarjustFlorezMD: #HearHer has reached India—where most new lung cancer cases are in #women, #young & #nonsmokers. I’ll wear this in memory of my wife @KusumVsCancer, & continue advocating for better #LungCancer care for Women. Thanks @jillfeldman4 for the pin.

Heartbreaking, yet what an incredible legacy—26 years with Stage IV lung cancer. Wells Whitney's life and advocacy, and research have given hope to millions. His impact will live on. #LCSM #Hope #Research #StageIV #RIP
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Wells Whitney, a true champion for the lung cancer community. His dedication, scientific expertise, and personal story inspired so many. His legacy of hope and progress will live on. Our hearts are with his loved ones during this time.

A letter "Thread of Hope" to my love, @KusumVsCancer , on the day #LungCancer took her from me—six years ago today. The #pain of losing her remains, the #regrets still linger… but so does her #love, her #courage, and the #hope she left behind!

When #cancer isn’t a #notifiable disease in India, how reliable are these numbers? Observations suggest a much higher rise. Also, why are we looking on 2018 data in 2025? The world has changed drastically in those 7 years, especially post-COVID.

Absolutely! That's why conducting clinical trials across diverse regions globally (including LMICs)—not just in a few (HIC) countries—is critical. #Diversity #clinicaltrials
DEI is not the same as diversity in clinical trials. Diversity in clinical trials aims to test new drugs in a wide variety of people, because response to some medicines can vary by gender, age, ethnicity, and genetics.
