Dedicated to raise awareness, increase patient & caregiver support, and advocate for the prevention, early detection, treatment & research of lung cancer.
World Lung Cancer Day commemorates, celebrates, and supports those impacted by lung cancer.
In recognition, Missouri Lung Cancer Coalition urges everyone to learn about the risk factors for the disease & the importance of early detection through lung cancer screenings.
#MOLCC
Black Americans have the highest mortality rate in lung cancer but are under-represented in clinical trials (research studies that can test new medications and treatments). Representation matters & helps improve outcomes for all Black Americans facing a diagnosis.

For those that are new here, we'd
like to introduce ourselves.
We work to raise awareness, increase patient and
caregiver support, and advocate for the prevention, early detection, treatment, and research of lung cancer.

Happy World Health Day! The World Health Organization (WHO) designated the 2023 theme "Health For All". This is especially relevant to us as we work to reduce disparity in access to early screenings & treatment of lung cancer.
