People affected by cancers with specific biomarkers—including patients, caregivers, family members, and friends—come together to form supportive communities, share information, and advocate for better outcomes.
Bringing together patients, caregivers, and families affected by cancers with specific biomarkers to share information, support one another, and build community.
Helping patients to navigate the complexities of the healthcare system.
Advocating for new screening, testing and treatment options.
Collaborating with like-minded associations in the fight against cancer.
Each biomarker group maintains a Facebook Group where patients, caregivers, family and friends can have a personal dialogue.
Our Facebook Groups are typically limited exclusively to patients, caregivers, family and friends. It is a place where you can freely ask and answer questions with others just like you.
As new developments in research or treatments are available, data are provided from current research and symposiums. If while reading any materials, you don’t understand the information, you can ask your group.
Get the most out of your biomarker community by participating. Ask questions, share what you’ve learned, and help others by sharing your experiences. Tell your story and, if you’re comfortable, talk about your treatment journey.
Many biomarker groups also have accounts on X (formerly Twitter), where you can follow discussions and connect with the wider cancer community.
Members of our biomarker groups can share their personal experiences and information to help you navigate rapidly expanding diagnostic and personalized treatment options.
This information can help you have informed discussions with your family and healthcare providers.
Biomarker groups work independently and together to advocate for cancer research funding. Tomorrow’s advances in screening, testing, and treatment begin with the research we support today.
We bring the needs and perspectives of our communities to researchers, healthcare professionals, government agencies, and pharmaceutical companies. By working together, we help shape research priorities and encourage the development of new therapies that can benefit current and future patients.

Making progress in cancer research and treatment depends on individuals, community groups, and organizations of all sizes working together toward shared goals.
Biomarker groups advocate for the needs of their individual communities while joining forces on issues that affect patients across the lung cancer community.
By collaborating with larger national lung cancer organizations, we can combine our knowledge, experience, and resources to strengthen advocacy efforts and help bring about meaningful change.
