November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month.
Lung Cancer Awareness Month is dedicated to increasing attention to a disease that each year kills more people than breast, prostate,
colon and pancreas cancers combined.
The Lung Cancer Alliance is the only national non-profit organization dedicated solely to patient support and advocacy for people
living with lung cancer and those at risk for the disease.
