“Lung cancer is the No. 1 cause of cancer death not only here in the U.S., but around the world,” says Brendon M. Stiles, MD, Lung Cancer Research Foundation Board chair said in a press release to this news organization. “This is the 11th year we’ve gathered in Dayton to fight lung cancer as a community. And together, we are making a difference by funding research that has the potential to improve outcomes for those affected by lung cancer.”
