===2021: [https://www.ilcn.org/the-iaslc-language-guide-a-lexicon-of-healing-for-lung-cancer-and-beyond/ International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer - The IASLC Language Guide: A Lexicon of Healing for Lung Cancer and Beyond]=== | |||
*The Guide is not long, dense, or difficult to understand. It encourages everyone to “take conscious steps to be thoughtful in the language we use,” and boils down to four simple, subtle principles: | |||
**Use Person-First Language: For example, instead of “lung cancer patient,” use “patient/person with lung cancer.” | |||
**Eliminate Blaming Language: For example, replace “patient failed treatment” with “treatment failed patient.” | |||
**End Stigma: For example, instead of “smoker,” use “person who smokes.” | |||
**Equity: Follow best practices regarding race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic, and geographic descriptions to promote cultural humility and sensitivity. | |||
*“We came together from different places, with different methods and different training, but we all agree that words matter, and that it is possible to change the language we use to talk to and about persons with lung cancer, as well as about people who use tobacco,” Dr. Ostroff said. “And we can do that in a way that that conveys respect, inclusivity, and equity.” | |||
