Abner Antonio Murray: EQUAL Study Redefines Lung Cancer Screening for Nonsmokers
Abner Antonio Murray, Hematology/Oncology Fellow at UNC School of Medicine, shared a post by FlorezLab, adding:
“The EQUAL study presented at ASCO25 by FlorezLab is redefining who gets screened for lung cancer. Using blood-based EGFR ctDNA testing in Latinx and East/Southeast Asian nonsmokers, this trial is paving a path toward equity in early detection.
Over 60% of EGFR+ lung cancers occur in people not eligible for current screening guidelines
EQUAL reaches those excluded — never/light smokers, community settings, multiple languages
Plasma EGFR ctDNA detection with mobile phlebotomy = feasible, accessible, scalable
Real-world implementation underway across DFCI, MGH, BIDMC and moreA bold, community-rooted approach to dismantle disparities in LCSM.”
Quoting FlorezLab‘s post:
“Thank you to everyone that came to visit our EQUAL study poster ASCO. We are so happy to have had the opportunity to present this amazing study and are grateful for the love and support from everyone for EQUAL.”
