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:
Increase awareness of lung cancer
To ensure equitable access to the best possible treatment
Reduce lung cancer mortality by driving earlier detection and biomarker testing
Equality of holistic care for lung cancer throughout EuropeMain EU files targeted
We work with our partner groups in Europe to support patients, survivors and caregivers, to raise awareness of the lack of funding and resources devoted for lung cancer. A key focus of LuCE is to advocate for equal access to Lung Cancer diagnostics and treatments across all EU countries. Over the past 8 years, LuCE has produced 8 reports and presented these at an organised event in the European Parliament hosted by MEP's. Key points of the report are to highlight the level of inequity affecting Europeans impacted by lung cancer either an individual living with diagnosis, their caregiver or family and lung cancer communities. We consider the findings from these reports crucial, to support and drive the lung cancer agenda by increasing advocacy capabilities, elevating the patient voice, and hosting multi-stakeholder roundtables including European health interest groups.

Communication activities
Since 2020 LuCE has run a focused Lung Cancer Public Awareness Campaign named "Get Checked". Each year the campaign has a focused message from risk factors, symptoms, testing for the disease etc with a call action to Get Checked. Building lung cancer awareness is essential in order to reduce the disproportionate mortality associated with the disease in comparison to other cancers. The campaign is translated in 18 European languages www.getchecked.eu. In 2023 we built awareness with a call to action "Get Checked" to "Get diagnosed" educating the diagnostic pathway following symptom presentation, seeking a medical assessment, secure an early and accurate diagnosis to testing with a focus on the importance of biomarker testing.
November 2023 - Lung Cancer Europe 8th report on lung cancer "Financial impact of lung cancer: A European perspective" published and presented in the European parliament hosted by Mr. István Ujhelyi, Member of the European Parliament and co-chair of the MEP Lung Health Group
2023 - Hosted a series of educational programmes to support and develop advocacy within the lung cancer community. These are translated in a minimum of 5 European languages and on demand thereafter. Introduced a masterclass attended by LuCE members on application, focusing an in-depth understanding and necessary skill to be an effective leader.
CALLS TO ACTION
Screen for financial toxicity and provide programmes to assist with costs, if financial vulnerability is detected. Healthcare teams should encourage discussions with people impacted by lung cancer to help explore their financial
needs. Those affected should be directed to resources and information which can help to reduce expenses associated
with treatment and care and to mitigate increased costs because of the disease situation. Increase income replacement programme coverage for people unable to work because of lung cancer or caregiving. Reduction of income due to changes in employment is one of the biggest repercussions of a lung cancer diagnosis. Employed individuals are more likely to experience a drop in income due to the disease. Appropriate compensation benefits should be funded through social welfare systems by governments and provided for those unable to work because
of lung cancer.
Other key Call to Action Points:
Ensure access that necessary supports that impact lung cancer care and treatment i.e. Psychological
Advocate for new guidelines on Lung cancer screening programs - Putting guidelines in place that will allow countries to set-up quality assured early detection programmes for lung cancer, as has already in place i.e. breast, cervical and colorectal cancers as a means to reduce lung cancer mortality.
Early diagnosis - Promote screening and diagnosis guidelines for lung cancer with evidence-based recommendations.
Raise awareness and education on the symptoms of lung cancer among the general public and knowledge among general practitioners.
Access to molecular testing and innovative treatments
. Ensure the access to molecular testing and novel therapies for patients.
· Collect and publish information about testing and treatment access across Europe.
· Stimulate the development and accreditation of lung cancer specialized centers in Europe
· Create a single European System dedicated to the evaluation the benefits of new drugs.
Research and development of new medicines
. Ensure funds continue to be available for research and innovation in the field of lung cancer.
· Reduce inequalities in access to clinical trials across Europe, and facilitate the movement of European citizens to participate in clinical trials.
· Strengthen patient involvement in the R&D, providing training and education about this process.Other activities

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
