## Who this is for
For patients and caregivers looking for community, education or help navigating care. Inclusion is not a recommendation or a finding that this group is right for your situation.

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.

## What they offer

- A private online support group. As of October 2026 it lists more than 7,549 members.
- A monthly newsletter with research news.
- A Patient & Caregiver Summit and an Annual Research Summit, with recordings.
- Project PRIORITY, a patient survey with a public dashboard on life with EGFR-positive lung cancer.
- Research awards jointly funded with [LUNGevity](/companies/lungevity/).

## How to join and what it costs

Fill 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).

## How it fits with other groups here

EGFR 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.

## Questions I would ask

- How do I join the online group, and who moderates it?
- Where can I watch past summit talks?
- How can I take part in Project PRIORITY?
- Is there a local or virtual meetup near my time zone?
