Welcome to Lung Cancer Week at the ATS! Lung Cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States and will claim more lives this year than cancer of the breast, prostate, and colon combined. This week provides a forum for patients and professionals to get the latest lung cancer information.
