Lung Cancer Awareness Month is a time to raise awareness, challenge misconceptions, celebrate progress, and take action to change the future of lung cancer.
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death in the United States, but there is more reason for hope than ever before. Research is leading to better ways to detect and treat lung cancer, and people are living longer.
There are many ways to make an impact during Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Join us at an event, bring awareness to your community, learn about lung cancer screening, share important information, or support research that is changing lives.
Join LUNGevity and thousands of people across the country in making lung cancer impossible to ignore.
Every Breath ForwardSM
A Powerful Symbol. A Nationwide Movement.
This November, thousands of white flags will create powerful displays in cities and neighborhoods across the country. They represent the lives lost to lung cancer, honor the survivors living with this disease, and make a call for the urgent need to change its future.
Volunteer at a flag installation, dedicate a flag, or learn more about the campaign.
Breathe Deep TOGETHER
Come together for lung cancer awareness and research.
Make some noise for lung cancer this November.
Breathe Deep TOGETHER brings people together to raise awareness, connect with the lung cancer community, honor those we’ve lost, celebrate survivors, and support research that is changing outcomes.
Join us in person in Boston, New York, or Washington DC, or participate from wherever you are.
Awareness Starts with the Facts
Lung cancer can affect anyone, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or smoking history. Yet misconceptions about the disease can contribute to stigma and keep lung cancer from receiving the attention it deserves.
Awareness can change that.
By learning the facts and sharing them with others, you can help more people understand lung cancer risk, recognize the importance of early detection, and support the people living with this disease.
Early Detection Saves Lives
When lung cancer is found early, before it has spread, outcomes can be dramatically better.
Low-dose CT screening can detect lung cancer before symptoms appear in people at higher risk. Yet many people who are eligible for screening aren't getting screened.
Knowing whether you or someone you love may qualify is an important first step.
Raise Awareness, Take Action!
ADVOCATE FOR CHANGE
Join advocates across the country to increase research funding, improve access to screening and care, and advance policies that help this community.
SUPPORT RESEARCH
Research is transforming what it means to live with lung cancer and your donation helps improve early detection methods and uncover new treatments.
WEAR YOUR SUPPORT
Turn everyday moments into opportunities to raise awareness. Shop LUNGevity gear and help start conversations about lung cancer wherever you go.
