Lung cancer is the biggest cancer killer of women in Europe yet is rarely recognised as a women’s health issue.
More women are being diagnosed across Europe, & in some countries deaths are still rising.
When we talk about women’s health, #lungcancer must be included.

Family history in #lungcancer is often misunderstood.
A 🆕 multicentre study in Lung Cancer found ~16% of people with NSCLC had enriched familial cancer patterns using a structured scoring system.
Not proof of inheritance but a signal for possible genetic counselling.

🆕 Nature Cancer study shows layering fragment patterns on top of DNA methylation makes multicancer blood tests significantly more accurate.
#LungCancer survival depends heavily on stage at diagnosis. Earlier & more reliable detection could be transformative. #LCSM

How AI slop is causing a crisis in computer science
Preprint repositories and conference organizers are having to counter a tide of ‘AI slop’ submissions.
AI in research is moving fast. This piece in Nature looks at the rise of low-quality, AI-generated subs & the strain put on peer review systems.
In #lungcancer, AI has real potential. But credibility & quality are vital & speed can’t come at the expense of trust.

Plastic pollution is usually framed as an environmental issue. It may also be a lung health issue.
A new JCI viewpoint notes microplastics have been found in human lungs, & workers in plastic & rubber manufacturing face higher #lungcancer risk.

EU countries scale back tobacco tax proposal
The latest draft recommends smaller tax hikes for cigarettes, heated tobacco and e-cigarette liquids.
🇪🇺 EU countries scale back #tobacco #tax proposal: A win for industry #lobbying?
“When taxes are weaker, consumption stays higher, addiction lasts longer, and more people develop serious disease”

Thanks for sharing, Paul.
Tobacco tax can sound technical, but the consequences are very human.

A randomised phase 3 trial in advanced non small cell #lungcancer found survival differed based on time of day treatment was given.
Same immunotherapy plus chemo. Just before vs after 3pm. Outcomes changed.
