Episode 153 | A possible connection between Pulmonary Sarcoidosis and Lung Cancer

A new study out of India shows a bit of crossover between sarcoidosis and lung cancer.  In this episode of the FSR Sarc Fighter podcast, I'll take a look at the study and what it reveals — including a new drug, Metformin, previously used to treat Type 2 Diabetes, that may show promise based on the study's findings.  For what it's worth, I'll also share the terrors of surgery for my ruptured Achilles.       Show Notes:  Donate to FSR: https://stopsarcoidosis.rallybound.org/gratitude-and-giving-2025 FSR Biomarker Summit: https://www.stopsarcoidosis.org/fsr-convenes-global-leaders-for-landmark-clinic-alliance-meeting-and-sarcoidosis-biomarker-summit/ Sarcoidosis News Study from India: https://sarcoidosisnews.com/news/new-genetic-clues-connect-sarcoidosis-lung-cancer-risk More from FSR: https://www.stopsarcoidosis.org/fsr-receives-confirmation-from-the-department-of-labor-ensuring-patient-access-to-fmla-for-participation-in-clinical-trials/ MORE FROM JOHN: Cycling with Sarcoidosis http://carlinthecyclist.com/category/cycling-with-sarcoidosis/ Do you like the official song for the Sarc Fighter podcast?  It's also an FSR fundraiser!
