shermandarlene+FollowRobots Are Changing Lung Cancer DiagnosisDid you hear about this new robot tech for lung cancer? Doctors in the UK just used a robotic system to reach tiny lung spots they couldn’t get to before—no more waiting months for repeat scans! Now, patients can get a same-day biopsy and know what’s up way sooner. Experts are calling it a total game-changer for early detection and survival rates. Imagine skipping all that anxiety and getting answers fast! #Health #BodyHealth #LungCancer20Share
Kristi Key+FollowLung Cancer Screening: The Follow-Up FailNearly 40% of people flagged for possible lung cancer on CT scans aren’t getting the follow-up care experts recommend. Even worse, Black, Asian, and Hispanic patients, plus current smokers, are more likely to get less care than they should. The takeaway? Catching cancer early only works if docs actually follow up! This is a huge missed opportunity to save lives—time for the system to step up. #Health #BodyHealth #LungCancer00Share
rachel60+FollowRobots Are Changing Lung Cancer DiagnosisImagine getting a lung cancer diagnosis in hours, not months. A new robotic-assisted procedure trialed in the UK lets doctors steer a tiny robotic tube into hard-to-reach lung spots, grabbing biopsies from nodules that used to mean endless waiting and anxiety. The tech is so precise, it’s like GPS for your lungs—patients can get answers and treatment way faster. This could be a total game-changer for survival rates and peace of mind! #Health #BodyHealth #LungCancer00Share
Kristi Key+FollowBreakthrough for Tough Lung Cancer CasesGSK just scored a big win: their experimental drug for small-cell lung cancer got Orphan Drug status from the FDA. That means it’s showing promise for a super tough-to-treat cancer, and could get fast-tracked perks like tax breaks and market exclusivity. Early trial results look hopeful for patients who usually have very few options. Fingers crossed this could be a real game-changer for those fighting this aggressive disease! #Health #BodyHealth #LungCancer30Share
April Anderson+FollowRobotic surgery changes lung cancer recoveryLung cancer patients at Main Line Health are bouncing back faster than ever, thanks to a new single-port robotic surgery. Instead of four incisions, this advanced robot needs just one, making the whole process less painful and speeding up recovery. One patient, Jackie Lyons, was up and about just half an hour after surgery—and even bought a house three days later! This is a huge shift from the traditional, more painful approach. Imagine being out of the hospital in a day or two and back to work in a week. What do you think about technology making such a difference in healthcare? #Health #BodyHealth #LungCancer90Share
Jacqueline Howard DDS+FollowGame-Changer for Lung Cancer PatientsBig news for anyone touched by lung cancer: the FDA just fully approved tarlatamab, a new immunotherapy that’s showing way better results than standard chemo for advanced small cell lung cancer. In a huge study, patients on tarlatamab lived longer and had fewer side effects—even those with brain metastases. Only 19% had to pause treatment, compared to 55% on chemo. This could be a real turning point for folks fighting this tough cancer! #Health #BodyHealth #LungCancer532Share
Kimberly Parker+FollowMore women are getting lung cancer without ever smoking. This is so crazy.I just read something that really shocked me. Doctors are seeing more and more non-smokers, especially women, with lung cancer. It's so scary because when a non-smoker gets diagnosed, it's often in the later stages. It happened to a woman named Katie who was only 37. She went to the doctor for a bad cough, thinking it was just asthma, but it turned out to be stage 4 lung cancer. 😱🤦😦 A cough that won't go away is a subtle symptom that a lot of people probably ignore. It just goes to show you don't have to be a smoker to be at risk. Things like radon gas in homes, air pollution, and even secondhand smoke can all be risk factors. I had no idea before... #HealthAwareness #LungCancer #Health #WomensHealth #PublicHealth 11140Share
