Cancer research

“We all dream of a better world. Cancer research is how we can turn some dreams into realities.” — Dr. Ross Camidge Dr. Ross Camidge, Director of Thoracic Oncology at the University of Colorado Cancer Center, has spent decades as a leader in lung cancer research and care, including advancing treatments for ALK-positive lung cancer. In 2022, he was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer himself. Few understand the impact of this disease, or have helped shape the landscape of care, quite like Dr. Camidge. His words remind us why research matters. Every new discovery brings us closer to turning more dreams into realities. Thank you, Dr. Camidge, for helping make those dreams possible. #MoreResearchMoreDreams #LungCancerAwarenessMonth #ALKPositive

More Research = More Dreams. 💙 What do you dream more research will make possible? Watching your children grow up. Making music. Exploring new places. Growing stronger. One day being able to say, “I'm cured.” For people living with ALK-positive cancer, these aren't just dreams. They're the moments, milestones, and futures they hope to experience. Today marks the beginning of Lung Cancer Awareness Month, and we're launching our More Research = More Dreams campaign with a goal of raising $2 million to advance ALK-positive cancer research. Because research is about more than scientific discoveries. It's about the people waiting for the next breakthrough, the families hoping for more time together, and the possibilities that new treatments can bring. Every dream deserves a chance. Watch our community share what they're dreaming of, and join us in making more dreams possible. 💙 Donate today: https://secure.qgiv.com/event/moredreams/donate/ #MoreResearchMoreDreams #LungCancerAwarenessMonth #ALKPositive

One dinner out can make a difference! 💚 Each year, Kelly and her dad, Larry, bring friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors together for a Red Robin Dine and Donate fundraiser supporting ALK-positive cancer research. Their idea is simple: choose a date, spread the word, and bring people together for a great cause. And that's the beauty of community fundraising. There are so many ways to get involved! A dinner out. A game night. A birthday celebration. A personal fundraising page. Whatever your idea, you can turn it into an opportunity to support research and help create more treatment options for people living with ALK-positive cancer. This Lung Cancer Awareness Month, we're working toward $2 million for ALK+ cancer research through our More Research = More Dreams campaign, and we'd love for you to be part of it. 💚 Ready to get started? Explore fundraising ideas, watch Kelly and Larry's full story, and find the resources to bring your own idea to life. 👉 https://alkpositive.org/fundraise-with-alk/ #MoreResearchMoreDreams #ALKPositive #LungCancerAwarenessMonth #FundraiseForResearch @RedRobin

What does survivorship mean when you're living with ALK-positive cancer? Survivorship is about more than a diagnosis or treatment. It's about living, adapting, and finding ways to maintain quality of life along the way. In this clip from our Season 7 premiere of ALKtALK, Dr. Eric Singhi, thoracic medical oncologist at MD Anderson Cancer Center, shares his perspective on what cancer survivorship means for the ALK-positive community. In the full conversation, Dr. Singhi also discusses building a multidisciplinary care team, advances in lung cancer research, and practical questions about TKIs, cancer progression, vaccines, and more. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with ALK-positive cancer for years, this conversation offers valuable information and perspective on navigating life after diagnosis. 🎥 Watch the full ALKtALK replay: https://youtu.be/aIVlb1OiWxU #ALKPositive #ALKtALK #CancerSurvivorship #LifeWithALKPositiveCancer
