Conquer Cancer, the ASCO Foundation shared a post on X:
“Misty Dawn Shields reminds us of the stigma still present for people with small cell lung cancer and that it’s time to change that. Her Conquer Cancer-funded research focuses on helping those with lung cancer by getting the right treatment to the right patient.”
Misty Dawn Shields, Thoracic medical oncologist, Assistant Professor at Indiana University School of Medicine, shared Conquer Cancer, the ASCO Foundation‘s post, adding:
“Thank you Conquer Cancer, the ASCO Foundation for highlighting how important it is to change the stigma, nihilism, and culture surrounding a diagnosis of lung cancer. Anyone with lungs can be diagnosed with lung cancer, and no one deserves lung cancer. Patients with SCLC deserve MORE support, not LESS, in their journey. Together, we are changing this narrative, seeing and helping to meet every patient where they are.”
