Lung Cancer Connection

02/19/2026

We’re incredibly grateful to Mike Bush KSDK for shining a light on lung cancer and the risk factors.

The segment that aired last night was just the first part of this important story. Understanding lung cancer starts with understanding risks. Be sure to tune in again tonight at 10 PM on KSDK to watch the second part, which focuses on the often-overlooked risk of radon exposure.

🕙 Tune in tonight at 10:00 PM to KSDK News to catch Part 2.
🎥 Watch part one below and help us spread the word.

Raising awareness about risk factors like radon is key to prevention, early detection, and saving lives. Together, we can educate our community, reduce stigma, and protect more families from lung cancer.

Laura Hamann's story is part of a growing trend that's changing everything you thought you knew about lung cancer.

Thank you SELF for helping spread lung cancer awareness. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women.

If you have lungs, you are at risk.

Cancer screenings exist to try to detect the disease in its earlier stages, and ultimately to save lives. But screenings for lung cancer—the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide—are narrow, and that’s causing missed diagnoses in many people, especially women and those who have never smoked.

That’s the main takeaway from a new JAMA Network Open study that suggests most lung cancer cases are missed due to these guidelines. At the link in bio read what the study found, plus what oncologists recommend doing to stay on top of your lung health.

Behind every survivor is someone who never gives up, a caregiver who shows love, patience, and strength in the hardest moments.

We give thanks to the caregivers who lift others up and help them keep breathing through it all.

Your care makes all the difference. We see you. We thank you.

If you're diagnosed with lung cancer, ask you doctor about biomarker testing. This type of testing can identify specific mutations and help your doctor create a personalized treatment plan.
