For Lung Cancer Awareness Month, we're revisiting groundbreaking insights on lung cancer types made possible by Forian’s advanced data integration capabilities. Traditional claims data often lacks the detail needed to distinguish between Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC). However, by integrating claims with EHR data, Forian's algorithms accurately classify lung cancer types, enabling a more granular understanding of patient demographics. In our recent analysis, we identified 18,000 patients with lung cancer codes in claims data, with EHR data indicating 65% NSCLC and 35% SCLC. Findings reveal NSCLC patients are more likely to be over 65, while SCLC shows a higher prevalence among women. Forian's integrated approach advances lung cancer research, empowering researchers and healthcare providers with the insights needed to drive improved patient outcomes. #LungCancerAwarenessMonth #LungCancer #DataIntegration #HEOR #RWE #RWD #Forian

Every 14 seconds, somewhere in the world, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer… Making it the second most common cancer in the world, according to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Early detection literally saves lives. This makes the validity of having an annual Breast Cancer awareness month, held in October, extremely obvious. At LOGEX, we also see Breast Cancer Awareness Month as an important time to reflect on the challenges and advancements in the treatment of patients with breast cancer. Our focus is on leveraging real-world data and analytics. Through collaborations with healthcare providers, researchers, life science companies and patient organisations, we aim to increase the understanding of how care is being provided internationally and how optimisation is possible in order to achieve more positive outcomes at a faster pace for patients. Thu ultimate goal is to reduce the impact of breast cancer on patients and their families. Two examples of our work in this field: 1-?Should breast cancer patients suffer from heartburn to not temper with the effectiveness of their cancer treatment, as is suggested by literature? Our real-world data research implies that the answer is ‘no’: Proton pump inhibitors help reduce heartburn and their use does not show a negative effect on the effectiveness of the cancer treatment: https://lnkd.in/eH6mZd5k. 2- The outcomes of the treatment of breast cancer varies quite significantly, even when looking at just European countries. There are important knowledge gaps in our understanding of how these variations can be explained. LOGEX worked with researchers and hospitals across Europe to gather and analyse real-world data on care paths in different countries, leading to some highly relevant insights and best practices https://lnkd.in/eD-MkV4M. Curious to learn more about how we try to turn data into better healthcare? Visit logex.com.

Today, October 17th, is the Day Against Cancer. Innovative cancer treatment is one of the key research areas of the UMCG. To enable better cancer research, UMCG started #OncoLifeS; a comprehensive and high-quality #databank and #biobank. By combining extensive cancer related data and biological samples, OncoLifeS supports the development of personalized patient care and enhances both clinical and translational cancer research through its robust infrastructure. So far, OncoLifeS includes more than 10,000 participants. ? A recent article using OncoLifeS data evaluated current clinical testing guidelines regarding epithelial ovarian cancer, focusing on untested patients. The findings reveal suboptimal testing rates, suggesting that clinicians may overlook testing for non-high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma, despite guidelines recommending testing for all patients. These gaps limit care optimization and hinder counseling for potentially affected relatives, emphasizing the critical need to adhere to cancer testing guidelines to improve treatment outcomes. Such research shows the potential of OncoLifeS to evaluate practical application of guidelines and work towards further improvement of cancer care.? ?

HER2 status plays a critical role in guiding breast cancer treatment but can evolve over time, presenting challenges in patient management. At the 2024 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, we presented preliminary findings on the evolving nature of HER2 biomarkers using Real World Data. This AI-powered analysis, conducted in collaboration with Clinithink and Healthix examined over 3 million clinical records from a diverse NYC population. Our results reveal frequent changes in HER2 status—positive, low, and negative—within the same patients, highlighting the complexity of disease progression and its impact on treatment decisions. Additionally, the study underscores disparities in biomarker testing, with HER2 evaluated more often than markers like PIK3CA or AKT1. These real-world insights from Northwell Cancer Institute and other institutions in the New York Metropolitan area emphasize the importance of continuous biomarker assessment and the potential of advanced AI technologies to inform personalized cancer care, improve treatment planning, and ultimately enhance outcomes for breast cancer patients. ?? #SABCS2024 #BreastCancerResearch #HER2Biomarkers #CancerCare #InnovationInMedicine

Event helps close the gap in access to lung cancer screening On Saturday, Nov. 9, the ACS National Lung Cancer Roundtable promoted the third annual National Lung Cancer Screening Day in partnership with GO2 for Lung Cancer, Radiology Health Equity Coalition, and American College of Radiology. Early detection saves lives, yet fewer than 1 in 10 eligible individuals are screened for lung cancer. This initiative aims to address a major barrier to access by encouraging screening centers to open their doors on a Saturday. With most centers operating Monday through Friday, patients who can’t take time off work face significant challenges in getting screened. More than 675 organizations and individuals, including 125 Veterans Affairs Screening Centers, joined forces to host and promote National Lung Cancer Screening Day events, with an incredible 40% of participating sites signing up for the first time this year. The initiative generated nearly 15,000 impressions and 600 engagements across ACS NLCRT’s social media channels, and the President’s Cancer Panel further amplified ACS NLCRT’s message, applauding this effort as a meaningful step toward closing the gap in access to lung cancer screening. I’m thrilled to share that the State of Michigan hosted the most sites. There were 48 sites that opened their doors on this Saturday! Thank you to the many partners we had in Michigan and across the country. #NLCRT #LungCancerAwareness #AmericanCancerSocietyMichigan

This week, the?American Association for Cancer Research?published their annual Cancer Disparities Progress Report for 2024 and one thing is made clear throughout: inequities in cancer care span the entire cancer journey—from screening to treatment and survivorship—underscoring the need for systemic change. Some key highlights from the report: 1?? Cancer Screening Inequities: Despite its life-saving potential, only 64% of eligible Asian and American Indian/Alaska Native individuals are up to date with cervical cancer screening, compared to 78% of White individuals, highlighting access barriers in preventive care. 2?? Treatment Inequities: Black and Hispanic women with triple-negative breast cancer (an aggressive type of breast cancer) are 18% and 13% less likely than White women to receive guideline-adherent treatments, leading to worse outcomes and higher mortality. 3?? Survivorship Care Inequities: Medically underserved populations face higher cancer mortality and worse quality of life after treatment, due to limited follow-up care, more side effects, and financial strain. Everyone should have access to quality care, regardless of who they are or where they live. This requires an approach that is culturally and linguistically accessible, reduces financial burdens, and breaks down logistical barriers for all.
