Biomarker testing is not always ordered for metastatic lung cancer patients – let’s talk about solutions to overcome the barriers.\n\n \n*This event is open to physicians/providers working in the lung cancer space. If you are a lung cancer patient or caregiver\, you are invited to attend the Midwest Lung Cancer Patient Summit on September 28. More information regarding that event here.  \nNOTE: A Breath of Hope hosts one the most visited patient education programs in the world (Animated Patient’s Guide to Lung Cancer found at youandlungcancer.com)\, funds translational U.S. research\, provides patient support services\, and works to address areas of concern\, such as screening and biomarker testing. \nEvery step we take is A Breath of Hope for the thousands of Minnesota families that lose their loved ones to lung cancer each year. We hope you can join us!
