November is #LungCancerAwarenessMonth. At the American Cancer Society National Lung Cancer Roundtable, we believe that by working collaboratively, we can drive faster and more effective progress in reducing lung cancer mortality. The #ACSNLCRT unites over 220 member organizations, harnessing the power of partnership to advance our mission to create lung cancer survivors and lower the impact of lung cancer through prevention, early detection, and optimal therapy. As we look ahead to the third annual National Lung Cancer Screening Day on November 9th, we invite you to join us in raising awareness, sharing resources, and advocating for initiatives that promote lung cancer prevention, early detection, and access to care this month. To learn more about our work, including how you can get involved in raising awareness for #LCSDay2024, visit our website today: www.nlcrt.org #LungCancer #LCAM #ACS

We’re grateful for the opportunities to share the importance of getting screened during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Most importantly, we’re thankful for our national and local corporate partners who have made an impact in their communities through Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. To our volunteers and walkers, we’re continuously inspired by your passion. For the love of tomorrow 🩷, remind your friend and family members to get screened. Image courtesy of NYSE Group.

Together with Pfizer and actor Patrick Dempsey, a cancer advocate, we’re continuing our work to “Change the Odds” for people living with cancer in underserved communities, including rural areas in the U.S., where cancer survival rates are lower than in cities. We're inspired by the people from rural areas who shared their stories with us and are helping raise awareness about the differences in cancer care and why screening is so important. Find your nearest no- or low-cost cancer screening center and learn more about this initiative: https://bit.ly/3UFYs0v #ChangeTheOdds

Health equity means everyone has a fair and just opportunity to prevent, find, treat, and survive cancer. It requires us to eliminate barriers and address needs to ensure everyone has the same opportunity to be healthy and cancer-free. Coming soon: a documentary on work by the American Cancer Society with Indigenous communities. Learn more about Advancing Health Equity: https://lnkd.in/gBS2xEN
