Our colleagues at the Lung Cancer Policy Network have published their latest newsletter.
Main points covered include:
Developments in lung health care to be discussed at the World Health Assembly being held in Geneva, Switzerland, later in May. The draft resolution on lung health has potential to transform policy commitments on early detection of lung cancer.
A new LCPN report highlights the importance of Patient Navigation in lung cancer care. Patient navigation can help improve outcomes and experiences of care; currently, however, the role of a navigator is often not formalised, and navigator support is not widely available for people with lung cancer.
Reflections on this year’s European Lung Cancer Congress, which discussed advancing lung cancer screening in Europe. Our own Merel Hennink of @LongkankerNederland was a key member of the expert panel for this discussion.
