6th LuCE Report on “Experiences and quality of life of people impacted by lung cancer in Europe”
30th November
This year, Lung Cancer Europe (LuCE) conducted a study focusing on the experiences and challenges of people with lung cancer and their caregivers, in their everyday life, their lifestyle and future plans in their “new normal”.
The report gives an insight into how people with lung cancer manage the symptoms and side effects of the disease and its treatments. It also describes the types of support caregivers provide, from practical needs (like driving to doctor appointments and handling health insurance issues) to providing emotional encouragement.
The report also sheds light on the caregivers’ role, the high level of subjective stress and need for emotional support. The report highlights the wide range of healthcare needs, the importance of multidisciplinary and person-centred pathways from diagnosis to treatment and survivorship.
797 people participated in the LuCE survey and Greece had the second highest participation with a percentage of 13.4% and a total of 107 participations, supporting the anthropocentric approach of the disease, attempted by Lung Cancer Europe.
FairLife LCC is a full member of LuCE, as the only body in Greece that focuses on Lung Cancer has equally actively supported the research.
The event was hosted by Mr. Tomislav Sokol, Member of the European Parliament and Special Committee on Beating Cancer (BECA).
