Out of the Shadows: Women and Lung Cancer, a groundbreaking report released today by the Mary Horrigan Connors Center for Women’s Health at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School, is a call to action on women’s largest cancer challenge: lung cancer.

As an organization devoted to women’s health advocacy, education and research, the Society for Women’s health Research (SWHR) commends the efforts of Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Lung Cancer Alliance for providing the most current and comprehensive report to date on the impact of lung cancer on women.
