{"title":"EGFR Resisters","summary":"Patient-driven nonprofit community for people with EGFR-positive lung cancer and their caregivers: an active online group, education, summits and co-funded research.","body":"EGFR Resisters is a grassroots, patient-driven nonprofit for people with EGFR-positive lung cancer and their caregivers. Its stated goal is to turn EGFR-positive lung cancer into a manageable, chronic disease.\n\n## What they offer\n\n- A private online support group. As of October 2026 it lists more than 7,549 members.\n- A monthly newsletter with research news.\n- A Patient & Caregiver Summit and an Annual Research Summit, with recordings.\n- Project PRIORITY, a patient survey with a public dashboard on life with EGFR-positive lung cancer.\n- Research awards jointly funded with [LUNGevity](/companies/lungevity/).\n\n## How to join and what it costs\n\nFill out the join form on the website and say whether you're a patient or caregiver. I didn't see a membership fee listed (checked October 2026).\n\n## How it fits with other groups here\n\nEGFR Resisters covers common EGFR mutations. If you have an EGFR exon 20 insertion, also look at Exon 20 Group. For general lung cancer support, see [LUNGevity](/companies/lungevity/) and GO2 for Lung Cancer. If you were diagnosed young, see [Young Lung Cancer Initiative](/companies/young-lung-cancer-initiative/). More in my [find support](/resources/find-support/) guide.\n\n## Questions I would ask\n\n- How do I join the online group, and who moderates it?\n- Where can I watch past summit talks?\n- How can I take part in Project PRIORITY?\n- Is there a local or virtual meetup near my time zone?\n\n## Contacts\n\n- Website: [egfrcancer.org](https://egfrcancer.org/)\n- Join form: [egfrcancer.org/join-egfr](https://egfrcancer.org/join-egfr/)\n- Contact form: [egfrcancer.org/contact-egfr-resisters](https://egfrcancer.org/contact-egfr-resisters/)","topics":["getting-started","expert-support"],"capabilities":["patient-support"],"organizationType":"nonprofit","services":["peer-support","patient-education","advocacy"],"communityFocus":["EGFR-positive lung cancer","Caregivers"],"sources":[{"id":"home","label":"EGFR Resisters home page","url":"https://egfrcancer.org/","publisher":"EGFR Resisters","checkedAt":"2026-10-22","supports":"2026 Patient & Caregiver Summit, Annual Research Summit, Project PRIORITY dashboard, research awards with LUNGevity.","type":"official"},{"id":"mission","label":"Our mission","url":"https://egfrcancer.org/our-mission/","publisher":"EGFR Resisters","checkedAt":"2026-10-22","supports":"Non-profit grassroots patient-driven community dedicated to changing EGFR-positive lung cancer into a manageable, chronic disease.","type":"official"},{"id":"join","label":"Join EGFR Resisters","url":"https://egfrcancer.org/join-egfr/","publisher":"EGFR Resisters","checkedAt":"2026-10-22","supports":"Join form for patients and caregivers; community of over 7,549 members; monthly newsletter sign-up.","type":"official"},{"id":"contact","label":"Contact EGFR Resisters","url":"https://egfrcancer.org/contact-egfr-resisters/","publisher":"EGFR Resisters","checkedAt":"2026-10-22","supports":"Contact form.","type":"official"},{"id":"propublica","label":"EGFR Resisters nonprofit record","url":"https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/332104656","publisher":"ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer","checkedAt":"2026-10-22","supports":"EGFR Resisters, Deerfield IL, EIN 33-2104656, 501(c)(3).","type":"research"}],"applicability":"For patients and caregivers looking for community, education or help navigating care.
