EGFR Resisters has teamed up with 23andMe on the Lung Cancer Genetics Study
Jill Feldman shared a post by EGFR Resisters on X, adding:
“I am grateful for all the advancements in lung cancer research and treatment, but it isn’t moving fast enough!
No single institution, researcher, or company will ever have enough or share the data needed to answer critical questions NOW.
That is why the lung cancer community—patients, advocates, doctors, and researchers—has come together; to urgently and determinedly accelerate research!”
Quoting EGFR Resisters post:
“EGFR Resisters has teamed up with 23andMe on the Lung Cancer Genetics Study.
The goal: To learn more about the genetics of people living with lung cancer in an effort to advance treatment discoveries.
Sign up here.”
