The purpose of the study is to identify factors that impact on the timely diagnosis and effective treatment of lung cancer in Australia. In the course of this project we will systematically review the literature and consult with experts in order to frame recommendations for the care of lung cancer patients. The project is funded by Cancer Australia. The information obtained from this process will inform future policies and initiatives.
Members of your network are invited to participate to complete this short survey. The final output of the project will be presented as the consensus views of participating experts.
There are no risks to individuals who participate in the study. Your data will be stored in a password protected computer at Curtin University of Technology or in a locked cabinet accessed only by the researchers on the team. Your participation will enable us to make recommendations for lung cancer diagnosis and treatment, and develop appropriate responses to the challenge of delayed cancer diagnosis and or treatment.
