SOLACE is a 36-month project funded by the EU under the EU4Health programme and coordinated by the European Institute for Biomedical Imaging Research (EIBIR). The SOLACE project assesses the current state of play, needs and best practice of Lung Cancer Screening (LCS) in EU member states and produces a comprehensive guideline and implementation package. SOLACE aims at developing, testing and disseminating tools to help overcome identified bottlenecks and specifically address the health inequalities in different European countries. It will provide a toolbox for individualised approaches for lung cancer screening on a national or regional level.

To assess the state of play of LCS in EU member states and EEA countries, SOLACE will carry out an online-survey and semi-structured interviews. The primary objectives of both are to gather the perception of LCS among various stakeholder groups as well as to collect comprehensive information on the current status of LCS in each member state, as well as to conduct a detailed needs and gap analysis.

ESTRO kindly requests the support of its national member societies and kindly invites its national member societies to respond to the SOLACE survey with information on their respective country.

The SOLACE online survey can be accessed at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FW2BW5H

Please note that this online survey will be open from August 1 until September 22, 2023.
