Deaths Caused By Cancer
Lung cancer accounts for 25% of all cancer deaths and causes more deaths than the next three cancers combined. Go2Foundation
Survival Rates Are Very Low
The overall five-year relative survival rate for lung cancer is low as a result of the large proportion of cases diagnosed with advance stage disease (American Cancer Society). Lung Cancer kills almost twice as many women as breast cancer and has since 1987 (LCFA America).

Yet, Lung Cancer Screening Rates Are Some of the Lowest!
Only 4.2% of those eligible reported screening
In 2015, of the estimated 6.8 million eligible current and former smokers, only 262,700 received screening. (American Lung Association State of Lung Cancer)
If everyone currently eligible were screened, close to lives could be saved.
