Lung cancer is the most common cancer
and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the world.
Each year, over 150,000 Americans are diagnosed with lung cancer
and a similar number die from the disease. CDC proposes to conduct
a new information collection to address gaps in knowledge about the
experiences of people living with lung cancer. Information will be
collected from lung cancer patients concerning their experiences
related to their diagnosis, potential stigma and victim blaming,
and opportunities for counseling and support services. The study is
formative and may be used to improve education and screening
interventions, and to inform future research activities.
