Welcome to The Irish Lung Cancer Community
The Irish Lung Cancer Community (ILCC) is the united voice of people impacted by lung cancer in Ireland. The ILCC empowers all those affected by lung cancer through the provision of education, information and support. The ILCC also works to promote more positive perceptions about the disease.
The ILCC was established by a group of like minded individuals, whose aim was to address the historic lack of advocacy for people with lung cancer in Ireland and to drive research into the disease with a view to improving outcomes both here in Ireland and globally.
The ILCC helps
- People with a current or previous diagnosis of lung cancer
- Family members, friends, and caregivers of people with lung cancer
- People at risk of lung cancer
The ILCC aims to raise awareness about lung cancer, as well as destigmatise the disease, which may lead to an earlier diagnosis, and ensure there is a strong patient voice around lung cancer services in Ireland. The ILCC want to empower people living with lung cancer to be involved in treatment decisions and receive the best care possible.
Our vision and mission
The vision of the ILCC is that all people with lung cancer in Ireland will have the best chance of survival and live life as well as possible.
Our mission is to serve as the united voice of those impacted by lung cancer in Ireland, by creating a community that empowers all those affected by lung cancer through the provision of education, information and support and by promoting more positive perceptions about the disease.
The ILCC Lung Cancer Patient Support Group will be held this Thursday the 5th December at 8pm on Zoom.
The Zoom link can be found in our bio or the homepage of our website www.ilcc.ie.
This is a safe space for anyone with a lived experience as a lung cancer patient in Ireland to connect with others going through similar experiences.
Looking forward to meeting old and new friends 😊

Two mental health researchers from Dublin City University are looking for participants in their research study about mental health and stigma in lung cancer. Please see below for further details and contact information.
What`s the project about?
We`re planning a research project on mental health and stigma among people with lung cancer and their families. The goal is to understand their experiences and make positive changes. We`re using a collaborative research approach called "Trialogue" to address mental health and stigma.
Why should you participate?
We`re doing preparatory work before applying for funding. We want to collaborate with individuals previously diagnosed with lung cancer and their family members before submitting our funding application. To ensure our research aligns with the experience of mental health and stigma in these groups, we need your input.
What would your participation involve?
Initially, we`re seeking a brief half-hour meeting to discuss the project and its suitability from your perspective. If our funding application is successful, we`d appreciate your continued involvement as a collaborator or co-investigator. You can decide your level of involvement in future stages.
Who is conducting the study & how do you get involved?
Two mental health researchers from Dublin City University seek collaboration in reducing stigma. Contact Simon Dunne at simon.dunne@dcu.ie or 01-7007796 for more info.
