What do this year’s policy developments in lung cancer mean for you?

The adoption of the lung health resolution at the World Health Assembly, and the development of the Bridging the Gap in the Diagnosis and Management of Lung Cancer global consensus statement, mark a pivotal moment in elevating lung cancer on the global policy agenda. By using these tools to guide national strategies, secure funding and build cross-sector alliances, we can accelerate progress and deliver meaningful change for people affected by the disease.

• Dr Mary Bussell, TriMar Strategies

• Professor Andreas Charalambous, Cyprus University of Technology, University of Turku and IASLC Global Policy and Partnerships Committee

• Dr Xiaoshuang Feng, International Agency for Research on Cancer
