Clifton F. Mountain Lectureship Award for Staging

 

Dr. Chi-Fu Jeffrey Yang is a surgeon-scientist specializing in thoracic oncology.  With regard to his research as co-principal investigator and project leader, he was awarded a $3.9 million R01 grant to develop algorithms to detect impending complications in thoracic surgery patients prior to symptom onset.  In 2023, he was awarded a $1.5 million R18 grant to lead—as co-principal investigator and project leader—a multi-center clinical trial evaluating the impact of lung cancer screening in Black women at high risk of developing lung cancer; this trial will build upon his previous work that demonstrated the severe limitations of the current lung cancer screening guidelines. In addition, Dr. Yang serves as the Vice Chair for the Thoracic Surgery Group of Alliance and is leading, as co-principal investigator, a $5 million multi-center clinical trial evaluating adjuvant immunotherapy for completely resected small cell lung cancer.

Dr. Yang is a passionate advocate for community outreach and leads the American Lung Cancer Screening Initiative, a 501(c)(3) non-profit that he founded in 2018 to increase access to lung cancer screening for at-risk populations.  The work has been recognized by over 350 mayors and governors from all 50 states, who have issued proclamations highlighting the importance of lung cancer screening.

Dr. Yang is strongly focused on contributing to the IASLC.  Over the past seven years, Dr. Yang and his mentees have given seven full-length oral presentations and ten mini-oral presentations at the World Conference on Lung Cancer, which have been featured at the IASLC press conferences and podcasts because of their significance.  In addition, he led his institution's efforts to contribute over 500 patients to the IASLC Staging Project.  Dr. Yang is also co-chair of the IASLC CT screening symposiums of 2023 and 2024 and the co-chair of the Early Detection and Screening Program of the 2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer.

Montse Sanchez-Cespedes

Cancer Genetics Group Lead, Josep Carreras Research Institute
Spain

Fred R. Hirsch Lectureship Award For Translational Research  

 

Dr. Sanchez Cespedes has been dedicated for >20 years to the study of lung cancer (LC). Her scientific achievements have generated important publications in the finest scientific journals (e.g., Ann Oncol, Cancer Discovery, Clinical Cancer Res, EMBO Mol Med), which have received hundreds of citations. Currently, she leads the Cancer Genetics group at the Josep Carreras Research Institute (https://www.carrerasresearch.org/en/cancer-genetics_124455). Her laboratory is devoted to the genetic and molecular study of the mechanisms that drive LC development. The group has identified and characterized new genes altered in LC (e.g., STK11, SMARCA4, MAX), now considered important tumor suppressor genes. Her pioneering work on the inactivation of SMARCA4 (Medina 2010) and her dedicated efforts to understand the role of this gene in cancer have rendered a new therapeutic strategy for SMARCA4-mutant tumors (Romero 2021). Her group also has expertise in functional analysis in the genetic modification of cancer cells and in the use of massive analysis technologies. More recently, her team has also been actively working on the elucidation of the gene alterations that hinder immune recognition, being the first to discover genetic inactivation of B2M in lung tumors (Pereira, 2017) and JAK2 (Saigi, 2018). 

Additional efforts of her team have focused on identifying mechanisms involved in the acquisition of resistance to targeted therapies, having important contributions in this area (Pros et al. 2020). Her group is in constant contact with national and international groups to deepen the biological and translational aspects of LC. Collaborations with clinicians, pathologists, and basic researchers stand out. Altogether, Dr. Sanchez-Cespedes' group carry out a comprehensive study of lung cancer, from the molecular basis to the translational application of their findings, to implement the clinical management and to design novel therapeutic strategies, especially in targeted therapeutics and immune-oncology, in benefit of patients.
