The ALCSI Podcast is an program of the American Lung Cancer Screening Initiative to educate the public on lung cancer and lung cancer screening. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the world. Large clinical trials have shown that lung cancer screening through low-dose computed tomography (CT) reduces lung cancer mortality by up to 33%. In fact, if every high-risk American were to get screened right now, more than 30,000 lives could be saved this year alone. However, less than 5% of high-risk Americans are currently getting screened. Visit https://www.alcsi.org/ to learn more.

ALCSI Podcast: Terri Conneran

On this ALCSI podcast, Terri Conneran shares her experience being diagnosed with lung cancer in 2017. Terri’s lung cancer was specifically caused by a KRAS mutation, and unable to find an existing KRAS support group, she decided to start her own. Thus, Terri founded KRASKickers (https://www.kraskickers.org/), a support group for KRAS-positive patients and their families. KRASKickers, which brings together providers, patients, and caregivers, has been instrumental in providing guidance and support to those with a KRAS biomarker. Terri can be reached through LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/terriconneran/. Your podcast hosts are Priyanka Senthil, Jacob Rashap, Pranav Mandyam, and Sam Schwartz.
