Advocating for a Stigma-Free Understanding of Lung Cancer

Lung cancer carries a heavy stigma, often unfairly associated solely with smokers. We address this issue by promoting a more compassionate and informed perspective. We bring focus to non-smoking causes of lung cancer emphasizing the importance of broader awareness and earlier detection strategies for all individuals facing this disease.

Our commitment to research is unwavering. We strive to advance the understanding and treatment of lung diseases by supporting research and clinical trials. We bring information of ground-breaking treatment options and research available to patients so that they are aware of the new directions in treatment. We focus on the following key areas:

Research and Analysis

We are dedicated to supporting research focused on gathering and analyzing comprehensive data to improve our understanding of lung diseases. By collecting high-quality data from diverse populations, we aim to identify patterns, uncover risk factors, and inform the development of targeted treatment strategies. Our data collection efforts enable us to participate in decisions and drive meaningful advancements in respiratory health.

Patient-Centric Studies

Some of our research prioritizes the needs and outcomes of patients. We design and conduct studies that place patients at the center of our efforts. By involving patients in the research process, we ensure that our studies address their concerns, improve their quality of life, and deliver tangible benefits. Our patient-centric approach fosters collaboration and empowers patients to play an active role in shaping the future of lung disease treatment.

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials offer significant benefits for patients, enhance therapeutic regimens, and advance evidence-based medical practice. However, accessing data from various trials can be challenging. To address this, the Clinical Trials Registry-India (CTRI), hosted by the ICMR’s National Institute of Medical Statistics, provides a free online public record system for registering clinical trials in India. Patients interested in clinical trials can access comprehensive records through the CTRI, empowering them to make informed treatment decisions.
