CHEST Foundation's Lung Cancer Awareness Campaign Now Underway

The CHEST Foundation, with support from Genentech, recently launched its Lung Cancer Care: A Team Approach campaign as part of National Lung Cancer Awareness Month. The campaign aims to raise awareness about low treatment rates and the importance of medical specialists working together to provide optimal lung cancer care.

A study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology found that of Americans with advanced cancer who do not receive anticancer therapy, more than half have lung cancer. Upon diagnosis, pulmonologists play a significant role in providing patients access to the latest treatment options by engaging a multidisciplinary lung cancer care team. To help your patients understand this team and treatment, visit www.chestnet.org/lungcancerteam for patient education resources.
