Phenomenal work by @AlexisChidi at the plenary session of AATS #ITSOS2025!! Using geospatial analysis, she found that pharmacies are commonly close to #lungcancerscreening centers and could serve as community sites for education and referral to screening.

So impressed with @MaryPasquinelli’s work where she demonstrated that Sybil, an AI algorithm, can accurately predict 6-year #lungcancer risk from one baseline CT scan, in diverse cohorts, with minimal bias!! #WCLC25

The cumulative risk of lung cancer among those with >1 first- or second-degree relative is at least as high as (and perhaps even higher than) that among people with a significant smoking history. #WCLC2025 4/5

The LEGACY study (opening ~Dec 2025) will aim to build a large, diverse dataset of chest CTs + clinical information from people w/ a family history of lung cancer. We will offer free screening chest CTs to qualifying participants. If interested: mghlegacylungstudy@mgb.org 5/5

A labor of love! @MaryPasquinelli masterfully explaining how we implemented Sybil, a machine learning model of lung cancer risk, at @UICancerCenter @UIHealth . Would not be possible without the Sybil implementation consortium. @LeciaSequist @F_Fintelmann_MD @aebchang @reginabard
