ROS1Ders: Lung Cancer Patients Turned Precision Medicine Advocates

In this Precision Medicine Podcast episode, we met with lung cancer patients Lisa Goldman and Tori Tomalia to discuss their organization, the ROS1ders, which they created to advocate and support those with ROS1-positive cancer—a group that represents just 2% of lung cancer patients. We were fascinated by how two women with no medical background could form a highly respected and resourceful group for those with this rare type of cancer. The women told us that when they and a mutual friend Janet ...
