#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 Due in part to discordance in actual vs reported toxicities, projects like PRIORITY can provide insight into real world toxicity and QOL. #LCSM

#WCLC20 The @EGFRResisters also fully sponsor the @EGFRSummit with junior faculty and trainees are mentored by experts like @Jbauml @ZPiotrowskaMD @HelenaYu923 @LeciaSequist @maryjofidlerMD @RamalingamMD @christine_lovly @JoelNealMD #LCSM

#WCLC20 Clinical research is an active partnership between researchers and patients. As @GoldmanLisa put it, "Patient input makes research more relevant and rewarding." Well said. #LCSM @IASLC @OncoAlert
