The past decade has shown tremendous advances in the care of patients with lung cancer. With improved survival comes the opportunity for patients to become survivors who advocate for research by attending conferences, forming relationships with physicians and care providers, and lending their voices through committee involvement and speaking opportunities.
The IASLC offers several opportunities to help transform patients into patient research advocates and is proud to support and partner with various patient advocacy groups, patient research advocates, and patient advocates from around the globe.

Biomarker test results are crucial for lung cancer patients to understand, but they are difficult to read due to their complexity. The Advanced Practitioner Society for Hematology and Oncology, the Association of Community Cancer Centers, the Association for Molecular Pathology, and LUNGevity Foundation created basic and comprehensive education for ALL non-small cell lung cancer patients to understand their results.
