The Global Lung Cancer Coalition is the international 'voice' of lung cancer patients

The Global Lung Cancer Coalition (GLCC) promotes global understanding of the burden of lung cancer and the right of patients to effective early detection, better treatment and supportive care. We are committed to improving disease outcomes for all.

Established in 2001, the GLCC is composed of non-government patient organisations from Argentina, Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and US.

The GLCC aims to address the following issues:

• place lung cancer on the global healthcare agenda
• change public perceptions and lessen the stigma of lung cancer
• empower lung cancer patients to take an active role in their care
• effect change in legislative or regulatory policies to optimise treatment and care
