LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
DEAR FRIENDS,
We are excited to make this a watershed moment for patients, survivors
and caregivers alike by ramping up our
initiatives to bring life-saving, costbenefiting, stigma busting efforts to all
those affected by lung cancer. We are
ever more confident that lung cancer’s
mortality can be cut in half by 2020
through our multi-tiered coordinated
plan of action that includes integrating lung cancer screening into public
health benefit, increasing federal and
state research funding, launching a
national awareness campaign that
tackles stigma head-on, and expanding our live and professionally staffed
patient support, information and referral services to meet the growing needs
and expectations of those we are here
to assist.
First, in June, we launched a multifaceted, bold, and provocative national
awareness campaign called “No One
Deserves to Die.” It took direct aim at
the biggest obstacle preventing any
progress in lung cancer survival—the
stigma and blame associated with the
disease. This campaign launched in 31
markets, including Boston, New York
City, Washington, DC , Atlanta,
Dallas, Chicago and San Francisco.
It appeared in movie theaters, bus
shelters, metro and subway stations,
online, on buildings, in print and as
guerilla postings. It is expected to
generate over 281 million impressions.
Our objective is to break down this
barrier and open the door to a more
constructive public discussion on how
to reduce lung cancer’s mortality rate—
once and for all. “No One Deserves to
Die from Lung Cancer”. This campaign
not only changes the conversation but
it also was the first initiative
using our new brand and logo.
To see the campaign in full go to:
www.noonedeservestodie.org.
Second, with the recent scientific
validation that screening those at high
risk with low-dose CT scans can save
tens of thousands of lives a year and at
lower cost for each life saved than
other cancer screening methods, we
have moved swiftly to translate the
science into public health benefit.
In February, we released the first
of its kind National Framework for
Lung Screening Excellence and
Continuum of Care, to ensure that
lung cancer screening is carried out
safely, responsibly and cost effectively
for those at risk.
The National Framework spells out
what consumers at risk have a right
to know about this life-saving benefit,
what they should expect from a
medical center offering lung cancer
screening, what constitutes best
practices in care and where to go
to have screening done safely and
responsibly within the continuum of
care. The National Framework also
LAURIE FENTON AMBROSE
commits to a quality improvement process to ensure that data and specimens
are collected and analyzed and as advancements are realized, incorporated
back into the continuum of care.
I am proud to share that to date over
120 medical centers across the country
have adopted the National Framework and have established lung cancer
screening programs within their
continuum of care following these
standards and guidelines. And
more are coming on line every day.
We applaud these doctors and
medical centers for acting swiftly,
for adopting the National Framework
which minimizes risk and harm and
for showing that life-saving benefits
can be realized NOW! Go to
www.screenforlungcancer.org to
get information or find a site
near you.

In addition to the life-saving benefits,
we proudly acknowledge the groundbreaking cost-benefit analysis,
conducted by the highly respected
actuarial firm, Milliman Inc., which
published its study in Health Affairs,
a peer reviewed national public health
and policy journal. The results of the
study demonstrate that CT screening, including all repeat scans, tests
and biopsies needed for a definitive
diagnosis, can be done in the commercial market at lower cost per member
per month than other cancer screening. Over 70,000 lives a year could
be saved with a cost per life saved of
$18,862 ($15,177 if a less invasive
video-assisted surgery is utilized).
This comparison is significantly less
than the cost per life saved for
mammography screening at $51,274,
for colonoscopy screening at $28,958
and for cervical cancer screening at
$75,181. We are working again with
Milliman, Inc. on an additional costbenefit analysis which will consider the
quality of life years saved. It is expected to be published early fall 2012. We
are delivering this information to the
highest levels of our public health
and policy leadership to underscore
that program implementation can be
done and at low cost.
I am also excited to share that federal
research funding as well as a national
plan of action for all aspects of lung
cancer continues to grow in dollars
and support. The Lung Cancer
Mortality Reduction Act of 2011

DI A N E LEGG
LCA N ew Engl and Co-Di rector
& Lung Cancer Survi vor
(S. 752 and H.R. 1394), the first ever
bi-partisan call for a comprehensive
and coordinated plan of action to
address lung cancer, with the specific
goal of reducing lung cancer mortality 50% by 2020, now has a record
setting number of 29 Senators and 70
Members of Congress cosponsoring
the legislation. We have also secured
an additional $10.5 million specifically
for lung cancer research in the FY2013
Department of Defense Lung Cancer
Research Pipeline. We established this
dedicated pipeline in 2008 and have
secured $70 million in federal research
funding to date.
We are also utilizing our public health
policy work and signature national
awareness events, such as the
National Shine a Light on Lung
Cancer Vigil and Team Lung Love,
to continue to fuel our grassroots
movement and engage advocates in
record numbers representing every
state. In addition we have secured the
support of over 50 leading interna-
tional and national medical, research,
health advocacy, social justice and
military and veterans organizations
who have joined in our call to action
to make lung cancer mortality
reduction a public health priority.
We have published cost-benefit
analysis, we are linking national
awareness efforts with recent
breakthroughs in science and we
are growing support for changes in
federal health policy and grassroots
mobilization. We literally work with
thousands of patients, families,
advocates, survivors, doctors,
researchers and the like—all across
the country. We are proud of our
ability to maintain top notch live,
professionally staffed support, information and referral services for the
tens of thousands of stakeholders
who contact us every year.
We are confident that together, we
can bring about the greatest lifesaving and cancer mortality reducing effort ever by 2020. Thank you
for your help, your support and your
continued belief in our work.
Warm regards,
Laurie Fenton Ambrose

LUNG CANCER MORTALITY
REDUCTION ACT (LCMRA)—
reintroduced with bi-partisan support
in both Houses of Congress (S.752
and H.R. 1394) to develop a comprehensive plan that addresses all aspects

the 112th Congress and is in the best
position to date to be established into
law. Secured 75 Senate and House
member co-sponsors in 2011.
HISTORIC COALITION BUILDING IN
SUPPORT OF THE LCMRA—over 50
national organizations have supported
the goals of the legislation, including the International Association for
the Study of Lung Cancer, Society for
