STARS Webinar - From WCLC23 to You: Presented by Lung Cancer Research Advocates (with audio translations)-Deutsche Audioübersetzung

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The webinar featured presentations from different projects aimed at improving outcomes for lung cancer patients. The first project, called Project PEER, focused on understanding the patient experience as they move from first-line to second-line chemotherapy. The study found that quality of life declines and financial toxicity increases as patients progress through treatment lines. The second project developed a language guide to promote non-stigmatizing language when discussing lung cancer. The guide was created by a working group consisting of lung cancer patients and representatives. The study found that the use of non-stigmatizing language varied among different groups, with doctors and patient representatives more likely to use patient-friendly language. The third project examined the treatment pathway for lung cancer patients in different European countries. The study highlighted the need for early diagnosis programs, reduced waiting times, and improved information and communication throughout the treatment process. The speakers emphasized the importance of collaboration, partnerships, and patient involvement in driving these projects. They also shared insights on how individuals can get involved in similar initiatives, such as reaching out to researchers, patient representatives, and other stakeholders, and actively participating in the lung cancer community.
