Saved John's Life
Today on World Lung Cancer Day, we raise awareness about lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer deaths. However, there is hope to defeat this disease, as the survival rate has increased by over 50% in the past decade. John is one of these survivors.

Biomarker testing identifies changes in a tumor's DNA or protein levels to determine the most effective lung cancer treatment. However, despite incredible progress in lung cancer survival rates, biomarker testing remains low, especially in underserved communities. Together, let's beat lung cancer by raising awareness of these crucial tests.
