State of Lung Cancer
States can do more to protect their residents from lung cancer.
How does your state compare?
The American Lung Association’s “State of Lung Cancer” report shows the toll lung cancer takes on each state in the country. Examining rates of new cases, survival, early diagnosis, surgical treatment, lack of treatment and screening, this report indicates that states must do more to protect their residents from lung cancer. The “State of Lung Cancer” report also explores the lung cancer burden among different racial and ethnic groups at the national and state levels.
Shared Stories
Sharing your story encourages greater awareness and empowers those at high risk to speak to their doctor about screening options, so that we can catch the disease early, when more treatment options are available. Read the stories they have shared or share your own.
Take Action
All new lung cancer discoveries approved and recommended today have been studied in clinical trials, including lung cancer screening and treatment advances. Urge Congress to support the bipartisan Clinical Trial Modernization Act (H.R. 3521/S. 4440) to make clinical trials more accessible, including for people with lung cancer.
