State of Lung Cancer
States must 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, screening, and insurance coverage of comprehensive biomarker testing, this report indicates that states must do more to protect their residents from lung cancer.
