The Lung Cancer Policy Network is pleased to launch a series of new resources, designed to support the lung cancer community to engage policymakers and make the case for lung cancer being a policy priority.

The new resources include a series of downloadable figures showing key data about lung cancer and a set of frequently asked questions (FAQs) to help lung cancer advocates communicate with policymakers.

As a Network, we aim to equip the lung cancer community to deliver evidence-informed, consensus-driven recommendations to drive policy change around the world. It is our hope that these resources will help make the case for lung cancer to be embedded in policy to a greater extent.
 

Core figures from Network reports

The downloadable, fully referenced figures are derived from the Network’s three major reports:

We invite you to use these figures in your presentations to help show why and how action must be taken to improve earlier detection and care.

Frequently asked questions on lung cancer for policy engagement

Lung cancer policy engagement FAQs

These FAQs have been developed to assist in communicating key facts about lung cancer, screening and earlier detection to policymakers. They have been compiled based on feedback from Network members and provide evidence-based and fully referenced answers to common questions about lung cancer.

The Network will make further policy engagement resources available later in August.
