The Lung Cancer Society of Long Island is a not-for-profit organization
founded in 2001 by Lung Cancer advocates for the purpose of eradicating
this disease by advancing and promoting lung cancer early detection,
research, education and prevention and to support those whose lives are
touched by lung cancer.

It is worth noting that since 1987, more women have
died each year of lung cancer than of breast cancer. Lung cancer
deaths
among women increased 150% between 1974 and 1994; by contrast, deaths
for men increased by 20%. Women now account for more than half of
all lung cancer cases.
