Our Vision

That every healthcare provider, when presented with a patient of any age or of any smoking status who is experiencing a persistent cough or other relevant symptoms, will consider the possibility of a diagnosis of lung cancer and will order appropiate investigation.

That all lung cancer patients with actionable mutations receive speedy diagnosis and the best care possible wherever they live in the UK.

That patient-focused support groups are available for all lung cancer patients with actionable mutations.
