{"title":"GO2 for Lung Cancer","summary":"National lung cancer advocacy nonprofit founded by patients and survivors.

It serves anyone affected by lung cancer, and it also works on screening and early detection.\n\n## What they offer\n\n- A free HelpLine for one-on-one support, from screening questions to finding resources.\n- LungMATCH, a free treatment and trial navigation program. Navigators help you understand biomarker results, treatment options and clinical trials you might qualify for. GO2 reports that in 2022, 40% of people who contacted LungMATCH about trials went on to join one.\n- Phone Buddy, which pairs you with a trained volunteer who has been through something similar.\n- Gathering HOPE, a casual virtual social, plus Mind Over Matter, a free five-week virtual program for managing emotions.\n- A network of lung cancer-specific support groups.\n- Lung Cancer Living Room, a monthly livestream with experts and patients.\n- Free educational materials you can download or have mailed to you.\n\n## How to join and what it costs\n\nThere's no membership. Call or email the HelpLine, or sign up for a program on the website. As of October 2026 GO2 describes the HelpLine, LungMATCH and its educational materials as free.\n\n## How it fits with other groups here\n\nGO2 co-hosts Gathering HOPE with [Young Lung Cancer Initiative](/companies/young-lung-cancer-initiative/). [LUNGevity](/companies/lungevity/) offers similar national support. For biomarker-specific community, see [ALK Positive](/companies/alk-positive/), [EGFR Resisters](/companies/egfr-resisters/) and [The ROS1ders](/companies/the-ros1ders/). My [clinical trials](/resources/clinical-trials/) and [find support](/resources/find-support/) guides cover more.\n\n## Questions I would ask\n\n- Can LungMATCH review my biomarker report and suggest trials to ask my oncologist about?\n- Is there a Phone Buddy with my diagnosis?\n- Is there a support group near me, or a virtual one?\n- What should I bring to my next appointment?\n\n## Contacts\n\n- Website: [go2.org](https://go2.org/)\n- HelpLine: 1-800-298-2436 (Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET)\n- HelpLine email: support@go2.org\n- LungMATCH: [go2.org/lung-cancer-support/resources/lung-match](https://go2.org/lung-cancer-support/resources/lung-match)\n- General business: 650-598-2857, info@go2.org","topics":["getting-started","expert-support","clinical-trials"],"capabilities":["patient-support","clinical-trials","research-support"],"organizationType":"nonprofit","services":["peer-support","patient-education","advocacy","trial-navigation","research-navigation"],"communityFocus":["People with lung cancer (all types)","Caregivers","People at risk of lung cancer"],"sources":[{"id":"helpline","label":"GO2 HelpLine","url":"https://go2.org/lung-cancer-support/help-line","publisher":"GO2 for Lung Cancer","checkedAt":"2026-10-22","supports":"Free HelpLine 1-800-298-2436, support@go2.org, Monday-Friday 9-5 ET; free one-on-one support; Phone Buddy program.","type":"official"},{"id":"lungmatch","label":"LungMATCH treatment and trial navigation","url":"https://go2.org/lung-cancer-support/resources/lung-match","publisher":"GO2 for Lung Cancer","checkedAt":"2026-10-22","supports":"Free treatment and trial navigation; in 2022, 40% of people who contacted LungMATCH about trial options joined a clinical trial.","type":"official"},{"id":"support","label":"Lung cancer support","url":"https://go2.org/lung-cancer-support","publisher":"GO2 for Lung Cancer","checkedAt":"2026-10-22","supports":"Phone Buddy, Gathering HOPE, Mind Over Matter (free 5-week virtual program), Support Group Network, Lung Cancer Living Room, free educational materials.","type":"official"},{"id":"about","label":"About GO2","url":"https://go2.org/about-us","publisher":"GO2 for Lung Cancer","checkedAt":"2026-10-22","supports":"Nation's leading lung cancer advocacy organization founded by patients and survivors.","type":"official"},{"id":"contact","label":"Contact GO2","url":"https://go2.org/about-us/contact","publisher":"GO2 for Lung Cancer","checkedAt":"2026-10-22","supports":"General business 650-598-2857, info@go2.org; HelpLine contacts.","type":"official"},{"id":"propublica","label":"GO2 Foundation for Lung Cancer nonprofit record","url":"https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/204417327","publisher":"ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer","checkedAt":"2026-10-22","supports":"GO2 Foundation for Lung Cancer, Washington DC, EIN 20-4417327, 501(c)(3).","type":"research"}],"applicability":"For patients and caregivers looking for community, education or help navigating care.
