Research Cures Lung Cancer

Research is how progress happens, and clinical trials are at the heart of that progress.

Lung cancer research saves lives: David’s story

A lung cancer diagnosis now comes with hope, thanks to decades of important research. Learn how participating in a study helped save Dr. David Heilbronner’s life (and at least 100,000 more), and how research, advocacy, and working together are helping us achieve our goal to #EndLungCancerNow.

Clinical Chats: How to Have Real, Impactful Conversations with Patients about Clinical Trials

How a physician introduces a clinical trial can shape how a patient understands and responds to the opportunity. "Clinical Chats” is an educational video series designed to help medical students, residents, fellows, and early-career physicians build confidence in discussing clinical trials with patients. Across four episodes, real oncologists and End Lung Cancer Now (ELCN) advocates share their expertise and lived experiences to model practical, compassionate, and patient-centered conversations about clinical trials. As an introduction to the series, caregiver and ELCN advocate Andre Arnold shares how his wife Alesha’s experience inspired his commitment to advancing research and helping others, setting the stage for the conversations that follow.

Watch the complete Clinical Chats series to discover practical strategies for discussing clinical trials through compassionate, physician-led conversations.

I’ve cared for a lot of patients in clinical trials, and the people who have been willing to participate have paved the way for these therapies to move into a lot of different settings.
