Lung cancer screening is key to dramatically improving survival rates.

Early screening can mean the difference between life and loss. When caught early, lung cancer’s 5-year survival rate jumps from 27% to 64%. Talk to your doctor about screening today—it could save your life.

Every 2 minutes, someone is told they have lung cancer. That’s 643 people a day—each one a story, a family, a future. Early detection saves lives. Let’s raise awareness, foster hope, and push for progress.
Join LCFA on August 1 for World Lung Cancer Day. Together, we can make a difference.

Lung cancer is not just a “smoker’s disease.” Nearly 60% of people diagnosed today have never smoked or quit years ago. This disease does not discriminate—knowledge and screening matter for everyone.

Stand with LCFA on August 1. Spread the word and join the movement for change this World Lung Cancer Day.
