States must do more to protect their residents from lung cancer.
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. For the fourth consecutive year, the “State of Lung Cancer” report explores the lung cancer burden among racial and ethnic groups at the national and state levels.
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.
Join us by asking your members of Congress to cosponsor H.R. 4286, which will improve access to and raise awareness of lung cancer screening for those at high risk.
