developed in Australia as part of a national initiative to improve cancer care outline best practices in cancer service delivery, from prevention and early detection to diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and end-of-life care. These pathways serve as a comprehensive guide to ensure consistent, high-quality, and evidence-based care for cancer patients.</p> <p>The pathways are built on multiple key principles:</p> <ol> <li><strong>Patient-centred care</strong> – Prioritising individual needs and preferences.</li> <li><strong>Safe and quality care</strong> – Ensuring treatment meets the highest safety and quality standards.</li> <li><strong>Multidisciplinary care</strong> – Bringing together expertise from multiple specialties.</li> <li><strong>Supportive care</strong> – Offering comprehensive support services to patients and families.</li> <li><strong>Care coordination</strong> – Streamlining care across providers and services.</li> <li><strong>Communication</strong> – Promoting clear and compassionate dialogue with patients and their care teams.</li> <li><strong>Research and clinical trials</strong> – Encouraging access to the latest evidence-based treatments and trials.</li> </ol> <p>These principles guide health professionals and services in providing optimal treatment, enhancing patient outcomes, and supporting people living with cancer and their families every step of the way. It is important to note that not all patients will follow every step of the pathway.</p> <p>Applied to lung cancer, the components of the care pathway can include:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Prevention and early detection,</strong> addressing smoking cessation, exposure to second-hand smoke, indoor and outdoor air pollution, asbestos and radon, as well as risk factors assessment, personal and family history completed by screening recommendations.</li> <li><strong>Primary health care and referral</strong>, including sign and symptoms awareness, primary healthcare workforce training, referral options and time to diagnosis.</li> <li><strong>Diagnosis and treatment</strong> referring to screening modalities such as spirometry, PET-CT and CT scans, molecular testing, innovative tools development and tumour board meetings. Discussions about appropriate treatment planning such as radiation therapy, surgery, and other options according to staging.</li> <li><strong>Survivorship, supportive care</strong> and end-of-life care ensuring access to detection of recurrent disease, referral and recall systems. Developing advance care programmes including referral to palliative care considering the care environment</li> </ul></div> </div> </qz-section> </div> </div> <div> <a class="on-page-anchor" id="56163"></a> </div> <div> <div> <qz-section theme="dark_blue" spacing="bottom-small top-small"> <div class="text"> <div><h2><span class="text-orange"><span lang="EN-GB">UICC’s actions to advance global lung cancer care</span> </span></h2> <p><span><span>UICC is dedicated to elevating global efforts to improve lung cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, and survivorship.

This multi-stakeholder crosssectoral collaboration aims to double five-year survival in lung cancer by 2030,  in line with the broader goal of reducing premature deaths from non-communicable diseases by one-third by 2030, the focus of the United Nations’ (UN) Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3.4.</span></span></p> <p><span><span>Since October 2021, three working groups were formed to develop key actions and recommendations for the collaboration.
