Because when you can’t breathe, nothing else matters.”Ĭheck-in for this year’s LUNG FORCE Walk begins at 5 p.m. We are committed to helping everyone breathe easier. “Here in Nevada, we are proud to have launched initiatives including Lung Cancer Courage Kits that provide those diagnosed with the disease help with treatment, answers to difficult questions and support. “Nobody deserves to have lung cancer,” said Shannon Proctor, American Lung Association in Nevada Executive Director. The survival rate has increased 33% in the past ten years and we aim to keep this positive trend going. Survival rate is only 23%, among the lowest of all cancer types, which is why early detection is critical.

Lung cancer is the #1 cancer killer in the U.S., and 2 of out 3 people diagnosed are never-smokers or former smokers.
