#WCLC20 The plenary presentation by @GoldmanLisa on patient-directed research and lessons in partnership is a can't miss and gives important insight into the evolution of clinical research #LCSM @IASLC @OncoAlert 
#WCLC Great to see so many active biomarker specific patient groups like @ros1cancer @ALKLungCancer @Exon20Group @EGFRResisters @mcrouse53 @RetRenegades @alk_fusion @kRasKickers @NTRKers @METCrusaders. We also need to reach patients that are less tech savvy or who lack access.
#WCLC There are many different ways that patients can be involved in research including biobanks, registries and RWE studies. As a great example: project PRIORITY led by the @EGFRResisters #LCSM
#WCLC20 Summary of molecular epidemiology of Asian lung cancer at the opening plenary by @TakashiKohno2. There are many different genomic subtypes of lung cancer and huge geographic variation. Reminder though: phenotype does not guide testing. #LCSM @OncoAlert
#WCLC20 In the US, actionable genomic alterations more common in never-smokers but still occur at relevant rates in smokers (and smokers probably undertested). In Japan, very high rates of alterations (like EGFR) in both smokers and never-smokers. #LCSM @OncoAlert
#WCLC20 But why? Why are there so many cases of lung cancer in never-smokers in Asia? Unique exposures? HLA differences? Why adeno and not squamous? Important work that will impact screening and treatment but very early. Is there a similar link with Native American ancestry?
