Lung Cancer Working Group

Although lung cancer represents 13% of the total number of cancer cases in Belgium, there is a lack of support for lung cancer patients compared to other types of cancer like breast cancer. There is a need for more efficiency along the pathway to improve outcomes, such as lung cancer screening, prevention, and patient support.

With new cancer treatments being developed, digitization of healthcare that is advancing and shifting demographics in survivorship of lung cancer, a multistakeholder group focusing on lung cancer can facilitate the development and adoption of solutions for efficient cancer care for lung cancer patients in Belgium.

We believe that collaborating, across boundaries of each organization and as equal partners, is the best way to create a positive impact on the care and quality of life for patients and their families living with lung cancer in Belgium.

The ambition of this Lung Cancer Working Group is to bring stakeholders together to works towards optimal lung cancer care by setting thematic priorities that are supported by each of the stakeholders.

By leveraging the collaboration between patient organizations, patient representatives, healthcare professionals, policy and industry, our Lung Cancer Working Group aims to address those areas where patient needs are the highest.
