EU-SOLACE : Strengthening the Screening of Lung Cancer in Europe
SOLACE aims to develop, test, and disseminate tools to overcome identified bottlenecks and target health inequalities in European countries. It will provide a toolbox for individualized approaches to lung cancer screening at the national or regional level.
Objectives
- To facilitate and support the implementation of structured low-dose CT lung cancer screening programs in Europe.
- To improve the quality of lung cancer screening across Europe.
- To increase the accessibility, benefit-to-harm ratio, and cost-effectiveness of lung cancer screening programs.
- To unite all relevant stakeholders for the first time to sustainably plan and implement lung cancer screening (LCS) programs in the Member States.
The European Lung Cancer Screening Alliance (ELCSA) will be established to ensure the sustainability of the efforts carried out within the SOLACE project.
Our tasks
... to demonstrate the feasibility of better engaging hard-to-reach populations in lung cancer screening programmes:
- Socially disadvantaged populations (Mannheim),
- Ethnic minorities
