World Lung Cancer Day and the Changing Landscape of Lung Cancer

For decades, lung cancer was synonymous with low survival rates, limited treatment options, and poor quality of life for those living with the disease. Each year, more than 236,000 people in the US are diagnosed with lung cancer. The high incidence of lung cancer means scientific research into new therapies is critical, both for current survivors and those who will be diagnosed in the future. Thankfully, the landscape of lung cancer is changing for the better.
