Forging alliances to combat lung cancer
Raising awareness for the early detection of lung cancer
Eleanor, could you elaborate a bit on the background of the Lung Cancer Policy Network. Who is behind it, who founded it when and why?
We hope the Network’s activity will ultimately lead to earlier detection of lung cancer and improved treatment outcomes and quality of life for those affected by lung cancer.
Eleanor Wheeler, Associate Director of Research and Policy at The Health Policy Partnership
Why is Siemens Healthineers a good fit as a partner?
What does collaboration on the Network look like and what do you hope to achieve with the current workstreams?
Could you shed some light on impactful past projects?
What are the current challenges regarding lung cancer and how can a network like the LCPN help?
Since members contribute completely voluntarily to the workstreams and projects, is motivation a challenge to keep things going?
What is your hope for lung cancer patients around the world? Where do you see the world moving within the next, let’s say five years, and which role will the LCPN play?
