About Us

Lung cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Canada, and the most common cause of cancer deaths. It’s a disease that not only challenges the physical well-being of those living with lung cancer, but also takes an emotional and financial toll on them, as well as their care partners and loved ones. 

In the face of this challenge, Lung Cancer Canada is committed to supporting the lung cancer community, promoting early detection, advancing critical research, eliminating the stigma associated with lung cancer, and advocating for the change needed to ultimately conquer this devastating illness.
