Drew Moghanaki, Professor, Chief of Thoracic Oncology at the Department of Radiation Oncology and Stanley Iezman and Nancy Stark Endowed Chair in Thoracic Radiation Oncology Research at David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and Chief Medical Officer of Respirati, shared ALCSI’s post on X:
“A 17-year-old nails the key issue that allows tens of thousands to die every year from lung cancer when a simple scan could save their lives.
“The world is full of people who care quietly.”
As he says in this article, we need more people to Care Loudly! So glad to know you, Soneesh Kothagundla”
Quoting ALCSI’s post:
“We are thrilled to share that Soneesh Kothagundla, one of ALCSI’s very own high school student superstars, was recently featured on Forbes for his lung cancer advocacy efforts!
On multiple flights, Soneesh has given public service announcements on lung cancer to all passengers, encouraging them to get screened! He has also worked with billboard and advertising companies to get screening information on over 175 billboards and bus shelters nationwide!
Over 94 million individuals have seen or interacted with these ads. We are so proud of Soneesh and can’t wait to see all the incredible initiatives he will lead in the future!”
