Lung cancer, which is the leading cause of cancer deaths by far, receives a disproportionately low share of funding compared to other types of cancer. Despite this, more progress has been made in the last 5-7 years than the last 30 years for treating ALK+ lung cancer. Two decades ago, patients with stage 4 Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) had a 2% chance of achieving a 5-year survival rate, according to NCI data. But because ALK+ lung cancer is so responsive to TKI medications, there has been rapid increases in patient life expectancy, especially in the last several years.
This incredible progress cannot be made without the research to support it.
More research = more life.
