Strategic Collaborations
ALK Positive Provides Worldwide Information, Support and Empathy to all ALK Lung Cancer Patients and their Caregivers
LUNGevity is proud to collaborate with ALK Positive, whose members—survivors and caregivers alike—are committed to raising funds for research to increase ALK-positive lung cancer survivability. Through our collaboration, ALK Positive will fund research into overcoming or preventing the mechanisms of resistance that develop on targeted therapies. This is the first time ALK patients will actually be able to influence the direction of research that will, one day, save their lives.
