We are delighted to present the 8th Report, titled `Financial impact of lung cancer: A European Perspective”. Lung Cancer Europe will hold an event on 29th November at the European Parliament (Brussels) and we invite you to watch it on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TezGqrkk7Iw.

This launch event will be hosted by MEP István Ujhelyi (MEP Lung Health Group) and supported by the European Lung Foundation, European Patients´ Forum, the European Respiratory Society and the MEP Lung Health Group.

This report is a descriptive research analysis that explores the economic burden of lung cancer, as reported by people diagnosed with the disease and those in a caregiving capacity. Data collection was through a self-filled online survey (May 26th – July 5th, 2023). This survey was completed by 1,161 participants (834 people with lung cancer and 327 caregivers) across 28 European countries.

The event recording and a full copy of the report will be available HERE after the event.
