Lung cancer continues to be one of the most common cancers in America, and it is the leading cause of cancer deaths annually.
The American Cancer Society estimates about 234,580 new cases of lung cancer will be diagnosed in 2024, while about 125,000 will die from the disease. These numbers are more than colon, breast and prostate cancers combined.
In partnership with GO2 Foundation for Lung Cancer, FirstHealth will host its annual Shine-A-Light event at 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 19 at the FirstHealth Cancer Center (135 Page Road North, Pinehurst, NC).
The event is free and open to the public and will include a presentation about clinical trials at FirstHealth. The research treatment opportunities at FirstHealth are part of the same research treatment opportunities that you would find at the country’s leading academic hospitals.
Event attendees will also be able to take part in a lighting ceremony.
FirstHealth’s event will be one of more than 200 similar events held across the country during November, which is Lung Cancer Awareness Month.
