ABOUT US

The Rescue Lung Rescue Life (RLRL) Society was established to eliminate barriers to CTLS adoption through public/provider education, advocacy, research, and development of novel tools which streamline high quality program implementation and management. It was founded by a multidisciplinary group of clinicians and research scientists with a decade-long track record of CTLS innovation

The RLRL Society mission is to save lives at risk for lung cancer through high-quality CT lung screening today and pioneering early detection innovations tomorrow. For decades lung cancer has been the number one cancer killer in the United States, leading to the deaths of more men and women than breast, colon, and prostate cancers combined. The good news is with CT lung screening we finally have a proven method to find lung cancer early when it is curable. In fact, if all patients at high-risk for lung cancer underwent CT lung screening we could cut the death rate of lung cancer nearly in half – saving tens of thousands of American lives every year. Unfortunately, less than 5% of Americans at high-risk are currently enrolled in CT lung screening programs. Much work remains to be done. Please join us in our journey to save lives.

On May 1-2, 2020, the Rescue Lung Rescue Life Society will hold its inaugural conference at the Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel. This 1.5-day gathering is the only conference dedicated to CT lung screening. Learn from industry experts about essential elements required for CT lung screening and about strategies and tactics to overcome barriers and challenges in starting and running a quality CT lung screening program.
