10 years of partnership

NATIONAL LUNG CANCER PARTNERSHIP
2011 ANNUAL REPORT
10 YEARS OF
PARTNERSHIP

Letter from the President
Sometimes, the difference between an initiative that makes giant leaps instead of
taking small steps is a simple but fundamental detail; that difference is collaboration.
Uniting the brightest minds and pooling resources invariably leads to new ideas and
opportunities that foster good stewardship of limited resources.
This principle is at the core of the Partnership’s values. We know that helping
doctors, researchers, survivors, friends, families and communities work together will
lead to the most efficient and effective advances in the lung cancer field. In 2001,
a group of individuals decided to work together to speak for those affected by lung
cancer who can’t speak for themselves. In the 10 years since, we have carried that

value throughout our entire spectrum of work - from re-evaluating and strengthening
existing programs to paving the way for exciting advances through groundbreaking
new projects.
During this time, we’ve been able to accomplish a lot: funding $3 million in research
(and growing); providing needed resources to patients and their loved ones to help
them navigate their new world of lung cancer treatment and care; developing a
national lung cancer event series – Free to Breathe® – to bring awareness of the

Research Grants
Since 2005, the Partnership has awarded more than $3 million for cuttingedge research that is essential to helping patients live longer and better lives.
Throughout the history of our research grant awards, we have collaborated with other
organizations to expand the scope of our program and enhance the impact of the
research we fund.
The Partnership is currently sponsoring Young Investigator Research Grants, which
support researchers early in their careers and ignite their interest in lung cancer
research.
This grant program is designed to complement other programs that support lung
cancer research; the Partnership provides scientists the critical ground-level support

support of the 2011 Young
Investigator Research
Grant Competition.
These Young Investigator Research Grants are fueling novel ideas across a wide
variety of lung cancer research areas that have long been underfunded, including:
• Early detection
• How the body’s immune system responds to treatment
• Genetic components and risk factors of the disease
• How a tumor’s environment affects its growth
•The effects of guilt and shame on treatment

Patient Resources
When a patient is diagnosed with lung cancer, it’s important that they understand
the facts. However, it’s also important for them to know that the statistics don’t

necessarily apply to their individual situations – and there is always reason to hope.
Hope is a consistent theme through the Partnership’s patient resources. Through
our collaborations with other organizations on the development and distribution of
patient materials, we’re able to give hope to patients and their families across the
country.
Living With a Diagnosis of Lung Cancer
What You Need to Know About
Lung Cancer Molecular Testing
A lung cancer diagnosis doesn’t come with a road map, but perhaps it should. To help
What is lung cancer molecular testing?
When your doctors suspected you had cancer, they had to take a small portion of your
tumor (a biopsy) to have it examined. As part of that examination, a specialized doctor,
called a pathologist, looked at your tumor cells under the microscope and found out you
had lung cancer. The pathologist should also have been able to tell whether you have
small cell lung cancer or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and, if you have NSCLC, if it
was adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, large cell or a more rare form.
Now, more detailed testing can be done on your tumor if your doctor requests it. These
tests are sometimes referred to as molecular testing, and may involve:
•looking for changes (mutations) in the DNA make-up of the tumor
•looking at levels of specific proteins present in the tumor.

Clinical Trials Resources
It is important that more people with lung cancer take part in clinical trials. Research
advances – and, someday, cures – cannot happen unless patients get involved in
clinical research. Participating in a clinical trial may make newer treatments available
to patients, as well. The National Lung Cancer Partnership has made it a priority to
encourage participation in clinical trials, for the benefit of current and future lung
cancer patients.
Stories of Strength: Making the Decision to Enter a Lung Cancer Clinical Trial
This video profiles four patients as they include clinical trials as part of their lung
cancer journey. The goal of the video is to demystify the clinical trials process,
encouraging patients to discuss with their doctors whether a clinical trial may be an
option for them.

Awareness Resources
A key component of increasing lung cancer research funding is bringing muchneeded public awareness and attention to this disease. The Partnership provides
several resources for advocates looking to raise awareness for this cause in their own
communities.
BREATHE Bookmark
By knowing the symptoms of lung cancer and consulting a doctor when symptoms
first appear, patients can have the best chance possible for successful treatment. The
Partnership developed the BREATHE bookmark in 2011 for advocates to distribute
to the general public, encouraging everyone to know the signs and symptoms of lung
cancer. Nearly 8500 bookmarks were distributed in 2011 alone!
Fact Sheets
In order to raise awareness of the scope of the disease in the US, the Partnership
developed a new compelling set of fact sheets in 2011, including a state-specific fact
sheet to help people understand the local impact of the disease.
Additional Advocate Resources
The Partnership is dedicated to forging collaborations with advocates in a multitude
of ways. 2011 saw a vast increase in the support for advocates raising awareness in
their local communities, including:
• a proclamation toolkit for advocates seeking state and local proclamations
regarding lung cancer awareness month
• a formal patient education materials distribution program pilot
• a comprehensive kit for advocates attending health fairs
• more extensive resources for advocates willing to

“Thank you for the information.
I was able to distribute the brochures,
pamphlets, etc. at my church Big Bethel AME
Church in Atlanta, Georgia. The Pastor allowed me
to give an overview of lung cancer to the congregation,
and I shared the story of my sister’s diagnosis of nonsmall cell lung cancer.
This presentation did a lot for me emotionally – to be able to speak
about this cancer and share my sister’s story.”

Free to Breathe® Lung Cancer Awareness Events
Free to Breathe events create a community for everyone affected by lung cancer to
connect with each other and feel empowered to make a difference. By uniting the
hearts and hands of people who are passionate about this cause, together, we are
building a movement to inspire hope, raise awareness and create significant change!
In 2011, more than 36,000 people - lung cancer survivors, families, friends,
coworkers and neighbors - came together at 37 events across the country and made
a commitment to improving patients’ lives by raising more than $2 million for lifechanging lung cancer research, education and awareness programs.

Lung Cancer Advocacy Summit
Some of the most valuable relationships the Partnership has built include those with
individual advocates striving to make a difference in their communities. Over the last
four years, the National Lung Cancer Partnership has trained and empowered over
200 grassroots advocates through our Lung Cancer Advocacy Summit.
Building on the momentum of individuals’ success stories, the 2011 Summit offered
a network of support, encouragement and inspiration to about 50 new advocates
seeking ways to catapult their passion into advocacy. This group included 13 lung
cancer survivors, as well as caregivers, family members, friends and medical
professionals.
Communities are already feeling the impact of Summit advocates in action. Since
returning home, Summit attendees have been hard at work acquiring awareness
proclamations, publishing newspaper articles, planning fundraising events and
finding other unique ways to raise awareness of lung cancer.

Annual Meeting
In 2003, the Partnership’s first Annual Meeting was held, bringing together about
50 visionary medical and research professionals who recognized the significant
lack of awareness in both the medical community and the general public about the
devastating impact of lung cancer. They came together to start a conversation about
the challenges they faced as physicians and researchers, and to educate the medical
community and the public about the most recent advances in the field.
Over the last nine years, our Annual Meeting has continued to foster dialogue,
collaboration and partnerships throughout the lung cancer community.
The meeting attracts world-renowned presenters. The 2011 Annual Meeting, held
June 3 in Chicago, welcomed a unique mix of doctors, researchers, patients and
advocates, including National Cancer Institute (NCI) Director and Nobel Laureate,
Harold Varmus, MD. Dr. Varmus gave the 2011 keynote about the dramatically
expanding opportunities in lung cancer research and treatment and how the NCI is
addressing the challenges of bringing these opportunities to patients.

Outreach and Awareness
Lung Cancer Voice Print Newsletter & E-newsletters
The National Lung Cancer Partnership publishes a biannual print newsletter and
monthly e-newsletters. These communications not only provide crucial resource
information to people engaged in the Partnership’s various communities; they offer
another engagement point for those looking for ways to get involved. In 2011, the
print newsletter graphics were revised to better reflect the vibrant, hopeful community
of people looking to the Lung Cancer Voice for information and inspiration.
National Lung Cancer Partnership Website
The Partnership maintains an extensive website. In 2011, we redesigned our website
to provide more comprehensive information for patients and their families and make
it easier for site visitors to find resources. New additions include:
• Enhanced video content
• Improved navigation
• More advocate recognition
• More ways to get involved
• Up-to-date news feeds and archives

The National Lung Cancer Partnership’s Chapter program was established to further
the mission of the organization.
The vision of the Partnership’s Chapter program is to grow an organic network of
grassroots advocates dedicated to defeating lung cancer by raising awareness,
increasing funding for lung cancer research and providing education for patients and
medical professionals.
Through events and local outreach programs, Chapters build collaboration
