About LUNGevity Foundation
LUNGevity Foundation is the nation’s largest private organization dedicated to research for the early detection and treatment of lung cancer.
It is committed to increasing quality of life and survivorship of people living with lung cancer by accelerating research into early detection and more effective treatments, as well as by providing community, support and education for all those affected by the disease.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, claiming approximately 160,000 lives every year.
It can afflict anyone, regardless of smoking history, gender, or ethnicity.
Currently, only 17 percent of people diagnosed with lung cancer survive five years post-diagnosis.
With early detection, there is hope of long-term survivorship.
