National Lung Cancer Roundtable
The American Cancer Society National Lung Cancer Roundtable (ACS NLCRT) is a consortium of public, private, and voluntary organizations that work together to fight lung cancer by engaging in research and projects that no one organization can take on alone. It is the ACS NLCRT’s belief that working collectively and collaboratively will drive progress faster to reduce lung cancer mortality.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create lung cancer survivors and to lower the impact of lung cancer through prevention, early detection, and optimal therapy.

Lung cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in both men and women but the most common cause of cancer death, leading to more deaths in 2020 than breast, colorectal, and prostate cancers combined.

National Lung Cancer Screening Day
The American Cancer Society National Lung Cancer Roundtable, GO2 for Lung Cancer, Radiology Health Equity Coalition, and American College of Radiology to open the second Saturday in November.
Task Groups
Our 10 task groups span the lung cancer care and control continuum.
Initiatives focus on provider engagement and outreach, tobacco treatment in the context of lung cancer screening, health equity, shared decision-making about screening, implementation of screening programs, access to high quality screening, policy action, survivorship, triage for appropriate diagnostic evaluation and therapy, and an end to the stigma and nihilism associated with a diagnosis of lung cancer, which pervades every aspect of this disease.
