8th Edition of the LuCE Report – Financial impact of lung cancer: A European perspective

This is an annual initiative led by lung cancer patient organisations, across Europe with the purpose of raising awareness relating to the main challenges faced by people impacted by this disease.

This report titled `Financial impact of lung cancer: A European Perspective´, 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 aim of this report is to explore the economic burden of lung cancer, as reported by people diagnosed with the disease and those in a caregiving capacity. The report delves into the various facets of the financial impact of lung cancer, seeking to shed light on the challenges faced by those on this difficult journey. We examine the costs associated with diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care, as well as the toll it takes on employment, income, and the ability to access necessary resources.

Following you will find the executive summary, infographics and press release translated to different languages.

At the end of this page, you will see a video of main conclusions as well as the recording of the Report launch event (November 29^th, 2023).
