#LungCancer is the leading cause of cancer death in Australia, and it has the lowest survival of the top five most common cancers. No national screening program exists. A/Prof Gavin Wright @Clavikul discussed how we implement life-saving lung #cancer policy at a national level.
2/ It also represents stark inequities. Indigenous Australians are twice as likely to be diagnosed with lung cancer, and twice as likely to die from it as their non-Indigenous counterparts. More women die from lung cancer than breast, uterine and ovarian cancer combined.
3/ Lung cancer remains a source of shame and stigma, with the well-documented transfer of blame from Big Tobacco to individual patients still wreaking havoc; lung cancer results in the most distress/anxiety/depression of the top five cancers.

Major update for small cell #lung cancer! #LCSM

With @juliensage + @FoundationATCG, our paper now on @bioRxiv:

►Genomic analysis of *3,600* pts with SCLC; largest SCLC study to date!

►Multiple interesting findings discussed in this 🧵
biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
🧵2
This study is unique in many ways:

> The #SCLC cohort studied came mostly from community sites --> representing a more typical “real-world” cohort of SCLC.
> The genomic data are tied to clinical data + outcomes.

#LCSM
🧵3
To the best of our knowledge, our study analyzes the largest number of SCLC tumors from African ancestry to date:
> n=256 AFR cases
> 7.1% of the entire cohort
#Diversity in clinical studies is critical!!

Oggi vi parlo di cosa studiamo in laboratorio. Da oltre cinque anni in @operapadrepio con il team della dott.ssa Muscarella lavoriamo alle lesioni molecolari nel tumore polmonare di un gene chiamato #NRG1. Mi scuso in anticipo per alcuni tecnicismi che troverete. 1/18
#lungcancer
Intro. In particolar modo il focus è sulle fusioni geniche che interessano riarrangiamenti a carico delle Neureguline (NRG1-4) recentemente descritti nel carcinoma polmonare non a piccole cellule (NSCLC). Ma andiamo per ordine, partendo dalle basi. 2/18
Le basi/1. Per fusione genica si intende un’alterazione in cui due geni si fondono andando a formare un gene “anomalo”, il più delle volte originatosi dalla prima metà di un gene e dalla seconda metà del secondo. 3/18

Very happy to present our #proteomics analysis of #lungcancer published today @NatureCancer!🙂
Here’s a walk-through: #MassSpec analysis covering almost 14k proteins in 141 NSCLC tumors revealed 6 proteome subtypes with distinct biology. 1/6
rdcu.be/cBOtU
#NSCLC proteome subtypes are driven by histology, growth pattern, immune cell infiltration, driver mutations, oncogenic pathways, and cell types, suggesting potential clinical value for treatment stratification and #PrecisionMedicine. 2/6
Unexpectedly, #proteogenomics analysis revealed that high neoantigen burden was linked to global hypomethylation, and that complex neoantigens mapping to genomic regions normally not active in lung were produced in immune-cold subtypes. 3/6

@TROGfightcancer 13.01 SAFRON II trial at #ESTRO21. n=90 pts with 133 pulmonary oligometastases, across 13 centers in 🇳🇿+🇦🇺. Median F/U = 3 years, randomization for single (SF) 28Gy vs 48Gy in 4fx (MF). #radonc #LCSM @PeterMacCC
2/ No difference in SF vs MF. Both were safe (G3+ AEs were 5% MF v 3% SF), and effective - 2yr OS 85% MF v 88% SF (p=0.44), LC 83% MF v 73% SF (p=0.13). No diff. in DFS (median 13.2 MF v 14.3 SF, p=0.99). Mean time to systemic treatment ~29mo. SABR did not impact QoL measures
3/ Both SF and MF arms drove systemic immune activation
- ⬆️%CD4+FoxP3+ Tregs, ⬆️ %CTLA-4 and %PD-1 expressing CD4+, CD8+ and/or CD4-CD8- T cell subsets
