When NFCR staff called to thank him for his recent gift, we learned that his second book, soon to be published, addresses the healthcare crisis and offers solutions to physician burnout, limited patient communication, and improved collaboration between physicians and administrators. We were pleasantly surprised when Dr. Farber shared that any proceeds from the book’s sales would be donated to NFCR and other charities. He reflected on his family’s cancer journey and why he chose NFCR as the charity to support cancer research.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide — but early detection saves lives.
This , the National Foundation for Cancer Research is urging everyone to know the facts:

🔹 Lung cancer often shows no symptoms until it's advanced
🔹 Low-dose CT screening can detect it early, when it's most treatable
🔹 If you're 50+ and have a smoking history, talk to your doctor about screening today

Early detection isn't just a statistic — it's a second chance. Don't wait for symptoms. Ask your doctor if screening is right for you.
