- State of Lung Cancer Report
On November 17th the American Lung Association’s signature report that shows how the toll of lung cancer varies by state, "State of Lung Cancer" was released. Examining rates of new cases, survival, early diagnosis, surgical treatment, lack of treatment, and screening, this report finds states can do more to protect their residents from lung cancer. New this year are disparities in lung cancer burden by racial and ethnic groups at the state and national levels. Check out the report on the Lung Association’s website: https://www.lung.org/research/state-of-lung-cancer.
