GO2 for Lung Cancer is excited to participate in the Hoag OC Marathon Running Festival! As a leader in the fight against lung cancer, this organization is at the forefront of everything that’s happening with the disease. They’re the go-to for one-on-one assistance, supportive connections, treatment information, and finding the best care close to home. GO2 also serves as a central resource for the latest research and special initiatives aimed at increasing survivorship. The organization’s efforts help to improve health policies and drive public awareness, shifting the narrative of this disease from one of stigma to one of hope. As teachers, guides, advocates, and supporters, GO2 relentlessly confronts lung cancer on every front, every day, for everyone. Confronting lung cancer starts here®.

Founded by patients and survivors in 1995, GO2 for Lung Cancer is dedicated to increasing survival rates for those at risk, diagnosed, or living with lung cancer. They envision a world where everyone affected by this disease survives and thrives by accomplishing these four key goals:

  • Increasing the rate of lung cancers diagnosed early
  • Increasing the rate of comprehensive biomarker testing and precision medicine
  • Increasing the reach and impact of community engagement
  • Improving quality of life

GO2 for Lung Cancer Launches the INERHIT Study!

The INHERIT (Investigating Hereditary Risk in Thoracic Cancers) Study aims to better understand the genetic risk, or predisposition, for developing lung cancer—and to learn more about the lung cancers that develop in people who may have inherited risk. This includes studying lung cancer that runs in families and investigating genetic, as well as environmental factors and how these may interact. GO2 for Lung Cancer hopes that this information will ultimately improve lung cancer screening, prevention, and treatment. This study is being conducted in partnership with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, GO2 for Lung Cancer, and the Addario Lung Cancer Medical Institute (ALCMI).
