GRACE is excited to continue to build the faculty and agenda for the upcoming Targeted Therapies Patient Forum, September 16, 2017. See more information about our presenters in Speaker Highlights - today we introduce Alice Shaw, MD. PhD.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. To mark it this year, GRACE is celebrating the empowered lung cancer patient. In this video, Linnea Duff, a 10-year stage IV ALK+ lung cancer patient, shares her journey from stunned patient to empowered patient.

I'm happy to bring you now the second part of the Santa Monica webinar, developed with the LUNGevity Foundation, on "Molecular Markers in Advanced NSCLC: Who to Test and What to Test For?", in which I was joined by Drs.

After the last several posts have discussed our friend and lung cancer expert Dr. Ross Camidge, we'll turn to the related topic of ROS mutations, which have been the subject of research by Dr. Ross Camidge (though apparently not named for him) and also researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital. This is a gene for a DNA repair protein, and the tyrosine kinase binding portion (the part that gets turned on to set off a cascade of downstream intracellular events) for ROS1 is very similar to that for ALK.
