The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer
The IASLC is a global multidisciplinary organization dedicated to eradication of all forms of lung cancer. From provision of educational events around the world and virtually to research projects and publications that advance the science of lung cancer, the IASLC's members—consisting of medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists, as well as other thoracic oncology specialists such as nurses, basic scientists, pathologists, radiologists, pulmonologists, statisticians, patient research advocates, patients, and their caregivers—are raising the bar for care of patients with lung cancer.

IASLC's Visionary Strategic Plan for the Next Five Years
In the ever-evolving landscape of lung cancer research and patient care, we have embarked on a transformative journey by unveiling a new strategic plan that redefines its mission and objectives for the next five years.
IASLC's STARS Program
The STARS Program (Supportive Training for Advocates on Research & Science) was formed in 2019 to address this need. A collaboration composed of patient and professional lung cancer research advocates and lung cancer advocacy organizations designed STARS to help patient advocates evolve into patient research advocates (PRAs), increasing the number of PRAs equipped to provide accurate scientific translation in their online or real-life groups for people living with lung cancer, and enabling more people to provide the patient perspective for lung cancer research and policy.
