Goals / Remit
LuCE is committed at increasing the survival rates and the improvement of health related quality of life of lung cancer patients in Europe.
Our 4 Key Goals:
Create awareness of lung cancer
Access to the best possible treatment
Reduce mortality - early detection
Equality of care throughout EuropeMain EU files targeted
We work with our partner groups in Europe to support patients, survivors and caregivers, to raise awareness on the lack of funds for lung cancer and one of our main target is advocating for receiving an equal access to LC diagnostics and treatments and for receiving the best LC treatments across all EU countries. In the past 2 years, LuCE organized two events hosted by MEPs to highlight the big inequieties still persisting for European lung cancer patients. We still consider these topics crucial, and because no so many tangible steps ahead were made, we are ready to organize a new event in EU Parliament, a roundtable, and with this purpose in July 12, we had a meeting with MAC Ms Peterle and his assistant Mr Nose in order to discuss about a new LuCE initiative for talking more about these inequities still persisting across Europe. Mr Peterle is going to host an event (MAC roundtable) on 16 November 2016, organized by LuCE where our Organization is presenting and circulating a wide report that collects updating data about the Lung cancer scenario, and more specifically on the discrepancy still existing among European Member States.
