GRIT.
DETERMINATION.
TRIUMPH.

Imagine running 101 marathons. Now imagine doing that with lung cancer. That’s exactly what Marina Jones, a 66-year old lung cancer survivor did recently. Marina was selected to be one of only twenty Medtronic Global Champions™ running in the 2018 Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon. The Global Champions program celebrates athletes from around the world who have overcome medical conditions – like lung cancer – with the help of medical technology.

CLINICAL STUDY:
LUNG CANCER MORTALITY RATES IN WOMEN ARE ON THE RISE1

Now more than ever, it’s important to talk with women about lung cancer. According to a recent Bayesian analysis of 52 countries worldwide, the global age-standardized lung cancer mortality rate among women is projected to increase by 43% from the year 2015 to the year 2030, surpassing the mortality rate of breast cancer in many high-income countries. It’s Lung Cancer Awareness month. Let’s make it a priority to talk with women about their lung health and change this alarming trend.

COLLABORATION
IS THE NEXT INNOVATION

"It's clear that this program works – we're catching cancers at an earlier stage. We know this model gets results, and we're looking to apply the same formula to develop other screening programs within the Saint Alphonsus system."

"It's not just the one piece of equipment; it is programmatic change, it's a completely different way to look at the lung cancer care continuum."
