Actually, it's some background information and your blood that's needed.
Memorial Sloan-Kettering is running an important trial that is trying to determine some of the molecular factors that lead some never-smokers to develop lung cancer while other never-smokers don't. The trial is just a one-time collection of information in a questionnaire, I believe about medical history and environmental exposures, and submission of two vials of blood. There is no cost to participants, with all packaging and mail expenses pre-paid, and the registration and additional information is online here.
This is an important and timely question, and the researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering have been among the most important leaders in developing our understanding of the biology of not only never-smoker lung cancer, but also of lung cancer in general. I strongly encourage any never-smoker with lung cancer to participate.

My understanding of ADCs is very basic. I plan to study Dr. Rous’ discussion to broaden that understanding.
An antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) works a bit like a Trojan horse. It has three main components:
Bispecifics, or bispecific antibodies, are advanced immunotherapy drugs engineered to have two binding sites, allowing them to latch onto two different targets simultaneously, like a cancer cell and a T-cell, effectively...
The prefix “oligo–” means few. Oligometastatic (at diagnosis) Oligoprogression (during treatment)
There will be a discussion, “Studies in Oligometastatic NSCLC: Current Data and Definitions,” which will focus on what we...
Radiation therapy is primarily a localized treatment, meaning it precisely targets a specific tumor or area of the body, unlike systemic treatments (like chemotherapy) that affect the whole body.

A Brief Tornado. I love the analogy Dr. Antonoff gave us to describe her presentation. I felt it earlier too and am looking forward to going back for deeper dive.
