EGFR+UK

EGFR Positive UK is a patient-driven charity committed to providing information and support for EGFR-mutated lung cancer patients and their families. We are also dedicated to supporting research and advocacy to change EGFR positive lung cancer into a chronic disease that can be managed long-term. We work to raise awareness of EGFR positive lung cancer and end the stigma associated with lung cancer in general. We know that anyone with lungs can get lung cancer – young or old, smoker or never-smoker.

Mission - Why We Exist

A future where every person with EGFR+ lung cancer:

· Is diagnosed earlier and treated faster

Values - What Guides Us 

Community

We are more than a support group. Patients, families, carers, clinicians, and researchers united by shared strength, experience, and hope.

Equality & Equity

We ensure that every patient’s voice counts equally and every patient’s needs are met equitably, regardless of background, location, or circumstance.

Trust

We are guided by evidence, integrity, and transparency in our communication and in managing our financial resources. We aim to be unbiased, accurate, and patient-first.

Empowerment

We believe that patients do not have to be passive recipients but are leaders, advocates, and changemakers. We provide them the knowledge and confidence to shape their own journey and the system around them.

Collaboration

We partner with other lung cancer charities, national alliances and international groups to share knowledge, strengthen advocacy and amplify our collective voice.
