World Lung Cancer Day

This year's campaign

On Saturday, August 1, 2026, we come together to mark World Lung Cancer Day, a global moment to amplify the voices of people living with lung cancer and those who care for them.

Together through Lung Cancer is a campaign rooted in connection, understanding, and hope. It’s about reminding every patient and caregiver affected by lung cancer that they are not alone, and that support, information, and community are within reach.

Connect. Share. Feel supported.

As part of this year’s campaign, we’re bringing together a range of supportive resources and peer networks for people affected by lung cancer. These include access to patient support groups, as well as a dedicated WhatsApp group hosted by patients. These supportive, welcoming spaces offer opportunities to connect with others, share experiences, ask questions, and find reassurance from people who truly understand life with Lung Cancer.

Get involved

To help raise awareness of lung cancer, we’re inviting our community to take part in a simple but powerful activity.

Our Know Lung Cancer posters and business cards provide a visible reminder of the support, information, and community that is available for patients and caregivers affected by lung cancer.

By distributing these materials across treatment centers, hospitals, clinics, and societies, you help ensure that patients encounter trusted resources at crucial moments in their journey, making it easier for them to access education, connect with others, and feel supported when they need it most.

You can order posters or business cards for your treatment center, hospital, clinic, or society by contacting us at SES_Knowlung@ScientificEducationSupport.com. Please let us know the number of A3 posters and business cards you'd like to order and your delivery address – we will be in touch with delivery times.

Living with lung cancer can be challenging, but you do not have to face it alone. Support groups offer a space to share experiences, access reliable information, and connect with others who understan. Join our dedicated group or browse our recommended online support groups and helplines for patients and caregivers to find the information and emotional support you need.
