The IASLC Patient Advocates Committee has compiled a list of regional societies offering information and local support networks to support the informational needs of the public, advocates, and patients living with lung and thoracic cancers. By working together, large and small organizations help ensure that patient care remains a top priority in the treatment of thoracic malignancies.
