Lung cancer remains the number one cancer killer in Canada and around the world. Prevention efforts, to reduce smoking and exposure to second-hand smoke, are still considered the single most important step to control lung cancer. Unfortunately, large numbers of Canadians (20,800 this year) will be diagnosed with lung cancer for many years to come. The CACC believes it is time for this disease to receive the public and political attention it deserves so that research, best practices, and timely access to care will improve the survival rate.
