Summary

Lung cancer screening (LCS) is at a turning point with more countries starting to adopt it as a national program. As screening expands, barriers at the patient, provider, and system levels have become apparent, hindering access and affecting implementation. Key challenges include the stigma of lung cancer as a self- inflicted condition, the remoteness of screening sites, varying epidemiological conditions and resources across countries, and the inefficient integration of CT screening policies at the national level.

Despite the existing knowledge about LCS, there is still much to learn about how these barriers are interconnected and how the perspectives of different key stakeholders— such as physicians, radiologists, surgeons, other healthcare staff, and potential participants— may impact various aspects of implementation, particularly in terms of access and uptake. This webinar will highlight barriers to LCS from an access perspective. Experts from various fields will come together to share strategies, insights, and best practices for improving quality and consistency of implementation, to overcome limited uptake of LCS. Additionally, they will discuss how LCS may evolve to help more people in need to have access to the screening in the future.

Learning objectives

  1. Learn about the LCS implementation in different regions.
  2. Identify key factors necessary for running successful screening programs including ensuring equitable access.
  3. Obtain insights from various countries and explore strategies to improve screening uptake and access.
  4. Learn about the role of resources such as AI and mobile units in expanding access, particularly in rural areas.

Join us for a roundtable discussion with leading clinical experts to explore how LCS implementation and uptake among eligible patients can be improved.
