Caring Ambassadors Lung Cancer Program Urges Support for Early Detection Research: Funding Controversy Should Not Derail Efforts to Improve Lung Cancer Survival
Concerned about recent reports about funding from tobacco companies casting doubt upon the objectivity of past studies, the Caring Ambassadors Lung Cancer Program urges continued focus on critical early lung cancer detection research. We urge the lung cancer community and the public at large to continue efforts to expand and expedite sound lung cancer research, and not to lose sight of the ultimate goal of finding lung cancer sufficiently early to allow for cure.”The Caring Ambassadors Lung Cancer Program is committed to improved wellness and longevity for the lung cancer community. Early lung cancer detection research is an essential component in achieving the goal of improved lung cancer survival,” said Dr. Tina M. St. John, Executive Director and Medical Director of the Caring Ambassadors Program. “By and large, health care providers, academicians, patients, and their loved ones all share this common goal.”
