We need the input of lung cancer patients to inform a trial investigating whether a new type of blood thinner can effectively prevent blood clots. People with lung cancer, especially those with ALK-positive, are more prone to blood clots. Warwick University and Hull York Medical School are running a study and we, at ALK+ UK, are helping by gathering patient insights. We're asking anyone with lung cancer to fill out a quick survey https://lnkd.in/ej23ZCer. We particularly want to hear from those who've had blood clots. #LungCancer #BloodClots #PatientAdvocacy #ALKPositiveUK
