Lung Cancer Research

A Breath of Hope is committed to funding critical U.S. lung cancer research and works to mitigate the disproportionate dollars allotted to lung cancer research and new treatments.

With nearly $3 million invested in translational research projects that lead to new treatments for late stage diagnoses, we are moving toward a much improved survival rate!

Awareness & Education

Early detection through screening and education is the answer to mostly late-stage lung cancer diagnoses and a 28% five-year lung cancer survival rate in the U.S.

Should you be screened? Visit MNScreens.org to find out if you are eligible!

 

Never smoked? If you have lungs you can get lung cancer. Educate yourself to understand risk factors other than smoking!
