December 6-7, 2021

Disparities to Equity: Moving the  Needle on Lung Cancer

Each year, the NLCRT membership, a nationwide coalition of over 160 professional and national societies, cancer centers, government agencies, research groups, advocacy and policy organizations, and corporate associates convenes to work together on our shared goal to create lung cancer survivors.

The 2021 virtual conference featured the work of those who are shaping a more equitable direction to lung cancer care and control in areas such as risk reduction, early detection, tobacco prevention and treatment, diagnosis and therapy, survivorship, and policy. The overarching goal of the conference was to address the determinants of minority health and cancer-related health disparities to advance health equity across the lung cancer continuum.

The conference highlighted keynote presentations and conversations led by Monica Webb Hooper, PhD, Deputy Director of the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities, and Robert A. Winn, MD, Director of the Massey Cancer Center at Virginia Commonwealth University. In addition, the NLCRT showcased its strategic priority committees’ work and its initiatives that focused on eliminating lung cancer stigma, promoting lung cancer screening implementation, uptake, and adherence, and optimizing lung cancer biomarkers in practice.

Through the NLCRT, we are working to ensure that no one is disadvantaged in their fight against lung cancer because of their socioeconomic status, their race or ethnicity, their sexual orientation, their gender identity, their disability status, their insurance status, or where they live.

We thank all of NLCRT organizational members and non-members along with advocates, survivors, and caregivers for attending the 5th Annual Meeting.
