About Us

Lung Cancer Canada (LCC) is the only charity whose sole mission is to raise awareness, provide patient focused information and offer peer support to everyone touched by lung cancer.

Founded in 2002 by caregivers and healthcare professionals who were concerned about the lack of information, treatment options and support, LCC has grown to be the nationally recognized source for reliable, non judgemental services and lung cancer information.

Through the first Canadian patient focused Lung Cancer Resource Centre and Library, LCC  offers a variety of resources for information and peer support free of charge to anyone in Canada. 

Governed by a volunteer Board of 12 Directors and supported by a Medical Advisory Committee, LCC is a volunteer driven registered charity. All Committees and Task Forces are made up of LCC volunteers. Our volunteers are medical professionals, caregivers, survivors and others touched by lung cancer.

Lung Cancer Canada is an active member of the Global Lung Cancer Coalition made up of lung cancer patient organizations from 23 countries.Other memberships include the National Lung Health Framework, Canadian Advocacy Coalition of Canada (CACC), Canadian Cancer Advocacy Network (CCAN), Best Medicines Coalition,and C2CC (Campaign to Control Cancer).
