Every year in November, people around the world work together to recognize and raise awareness of the challenges that come from a diagnosis of lung cancer.
Awareness is the first step to prevention. And funding research is the first step towards finding treatments that will prolong and save lives! Learn the facts about lung cancer and find out about screening and prevention.

Plus One campaign encourages screening
The Plus One campaign is a partnership between LCRF and the American Lung Cancer Screening Initiative (ALCSI), sponsored by AstraZeneca. By asking, “Do you have a friend or loved one who is eligible for lung cancer screening?” we aim to improve early detection rates through education about screening.
