Gilberto Lopes, Chief of the Division of Medical Oncology at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, shared on LinkedIn:
“November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month.
We cannot make assumptions about our patients’ preferences, perspectives and priorities – and I wish we had started incorporating patients’ perspectives, not just in decision making but also in clinical research, a lot earlier than we did.
The best days at work are when we help people realize that the face of lung cancer has changed: today we also see younger patients who never smoked, and targeted agents that can help them live longer – more time with their families, more birthdays, more anniversaries, more bucket-list trips.
From Second Look Rounds, on what matters most to people living with lung cancer.”
