Dr. Schäper particularly emphasized the challenges that the supply close to home in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania brings-due to long ways and minimum cases.

background and challenges

lung cancer remains a serious health problem in Germany. In 2018, according to yellow-list.de, 35,290 men and 21,930 women from this cancer. The survival rate after five years is between 10 and 20 percent, which is why lung carcinomas have the highest mortality rate among tumor diseases. The new S3 guideline "Prevention, diagnostics, therapy and aftercare of lung carcinoma" was also revised to optimize the treatment and improve the quality of life of the patients. The lead was taken over by the German Society for Pneumology and Beating Medicine (DGP) and the German Cancer Society e.V. (DKG).

A central goal of this revised guideline is the support of doctors and patients in medical decisions. The recommendations are aimed at doctors in both outpatient and inpatient contexts and are intended to fundamentally improve the diagnosis and therapy of lung carcinoma patients.
