Lung Cancer Awareness Month 2024

Lung Cancer Awareness Month 2024

Get Involved: LCAM 2024

This November, join a global movement dedicated to revolutionizing lung cancer survival rates during Lung Cancer Awareness Month (LCAM). Together, we can spark essential conversations and emphasize the vital role of early detection, effective treatments, and innovative research.
Lung Cancer Awareness Month

Our Mission Statements:

  • Empower Research: Advocate for increased public support to boost research funding and expand screening initiatives. Together, we can improve treatment options for those affected by lung cancer.
  • Cultivate Global Partnerships: Collaborate with patient advocacy groups, healthcare NGOs, and national health ministries. United, we can create a powerful network in the fight against lung cancer.
  • Raise Awareness: Educate both healthcare professionals and the public on the life-saving benefits of early detection. Let’s empower individuals to take proactive steps in their health journey.

Adequate research funding is key to furthering developments in lung cancer treatment. 100% of your donation goes directly to the IASLC's Research grants program. For over 20 years, the IASLC has awarded over 14 million dollars to support research that prevents, detects, and treats lung cancer.

Show your support - raise awareness about lung cancer, honor those facing a diagnosis, and be part of the research that will lead to conquering lung and other thoracic cancers worldwide in the 21st Century.

Join us this November to make a tangible impact in the fight against lung cancer. Together, we can change lives and improve outcomes for patients around the globe!

During National Lung Cancer Awareness Month, we strengthen our commitment to standing by all those facing lung cancer and their families, and we ensure they have access to the care they need.  We also rededicate ourselves to spreading awareness about lung cancer and working to end cancer as we know it, in order to save more lives. We thank the researchers searching for answers and the medical professionals who are working tirelessly to care for those with lung cancer, and we recommit to ending cancer as we know it.
