Your donation to Lung Cancer Foundation of America will help to fund research that will find new treatments for lung cancer patients everywhere.
Research is so important because each new research discovery could extend lives by months or even years. The fact is that many personalized treatments only became available within the past 5 years, and new treatments are becoming available to patients only through funded research.

Raising Awareness of Lung Cancer’s Deadly Impact & Disproportionate Research Funding
The truth is, lung cancer kills more than these 3 deadly cancers combined.
Lung cancer: 135,720
- Breast cancer: 42,170
- Prostate cancer: 33,330
- Colon cancer: 53,200
Sadly, federal funding for lung cancer research per related death in 2018 was just $1,680 compared to:
- $24,846 for breast cancer
- $12,644 for prostate cancer
- $6,344 for colon cancer
