• Lung cancer is by far the number #1 cancer killer, taking more lives than breast, prostate and colon cancer combined. • Lung cancer accounts for nearly one third of all cancer deaths. • Approximately 228,000 people will be diagnosed with lung cancer, and 160,000 will die, in the U.S. in 2013.

• Only 15.8% of those diagnosed with advanced lung cancer will be alive in 5 years - nearly unchanged for the past 30 years. • The 5-year survival rate for breast cancer is 89% and prostate cancer nearly 100%.

• Approximately $10.3 billion is spent each year in the US on lung cancer treatments alone, yet the federal government invested only $231 million on lung cancer research in 2012. • 78% of new lung cancer diagnoses are in non-smokers, yet nearly all government funding is directed toward tobacco cessation and education programs. • Disproportionately low federal investment in lung cancer research, particularly when measured on a per patient death basis. .

• Increasing understanding of the genetic complexity and variety of types of lung cancer. • Some progress towards personalized therapies for advanced NSCLC, but still no significant improvements in overall survival. • As a result of a lack of funding and attention for this deadly cancer, no major therapeutic advances against earlier stages of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), or any stage of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). • No major therapeutic advances over past 40 years.

Bonnie J. Addario was first diagnosed with advanced stage lung cancer in 2004 and, eventually beating the disease and the odds, has since dedicated herself to helping other patients and families. She founded two “sister” non-profit organizations, the Lung Cancer Foundation (LCF) in 2006 and the Addario Lung Cancer Medical Institute (ALCMI) in 2008, to bring the weight and urgency of patients’ voices to accelerate and focus research on improved patient outcomes.

Through empowering and educating patients, funding cutting-edge research, building strategic collab-orations and raising public awareness, LCF’s goal is to transform lung cancer into a manageable, chronic disease and ultimately to find a cure.

L U N G C A N C E R F O U N D AT I O N ( L C F )

R E S E A R C H– supports and invests in genetic testing, therapeutic discovery, targeted treatment and early detection. P A T I E N T S E R V I C E S– provides a road map to guide patients and families, and a support system to anchor them, including educational resources, latest research news, and one-on-one answers to questions along with personal advice. A W A R E N E S S– our message is both urgent and simple: patients hold the key to unlocking the mystery of lung cancer and they must have a “seat at the table” with researchers and clinicians. Anyone can get lung cancer.

B U S I N E S S D E V E L O P M E N T– seeks to engage corporate partners, major donors and foundations who support our initiatives and invest in our mission.

J I L L ’ S L E G A C Y– an advisory board made up of empowered young professionals personally touched by lung cancer.

Our mission is to

lung cancer

survivable.

ALCMI is the only international consortium advancing lung cancer research by combining scientific expertise found at academic institutions with patient access through our network of community cancer centers – enabling novel research studies that are otherwise not feasible. ALCMI is an innovative collaborative model, combining cancer research with business best practices.

ALCMI invests a nearly unheard-of 89 cents out of each dollar raised directly towards our research initiatives. This is achieved by leveraging shared administrative staff and economies of scale with our sister foundation the LCF, and even more so by the donations of time, expertise and resources of ALCMI’s member institutions, scientists and clinicians. •

ALCMI overcomes systemic barriers to collaboration in order to accelerate the translation/delivery of discoveries to patients. ALCMI combines the best business and clinical practices with the sense of urgency of a patient-founded non-profit. The result – an international, contractual consortium implementing novel basic and translational research studies.

The CASTLE study collects matched tissues and bloods from advanced stage lung cancer patients. In contrast to other groups’ research initiatives which are limited in scope and duration, ALCMI’s longitudinal collection of tumor tissues, bloods and clinical data serves as a foundational resource to enable scientists to ask and answer the next scientific questions.

A small number of people are born with a DNA mutation in the EGFR gene called T790M, which has been identified in some families suffering from lung cancer. This study hypothesizes the reason this mutation occurs is not because it arose in the cancer cells but rather because it was in the patient’s genes, and thus why lung cancer developed in the first place in such patients.

In cancers such as breast cancer and leukemia, research has

clearly demonstrated that diagnosis at a younger age is

associated with a distinct biology and natural history; however, the biology of lung cancer in the young (under 40 years old) has not been studied. This study uniquely employs next-generation genomic sequencing to determine whether young lung cancers harbor a distinctive spectrum of genetic mutations, indicating a need for an individualized management approach.

Leveraging ALCMI’s research infrastructures, we have developed and implemented a strategically focused portfolio of innovative basic and translational research projects. All projects must clearly demonstrate benefits for patients, and address unmet needs.
