3rd CraNE WP6 Meeting

On 28 November the third WP6 meeting took place in the National Cancer Institute (INC) in Luxembourg. 50 participants from 37 organizations were attending including guests from the JRC and DG Sante and DG RTD. During the meeting the results of the five tasks were presented, discussed and agreed as well as the preparations for the following activities were initiated.

In particular, the first draft version of the handbook of how to set-up a quality assured CCCN received high interest from the participants. So did the final Set of Quality Indicator for Lung Cancer Care as well as the update on the development of a Lung Cancer Patient Pathway with a focus on patient-centeredness in CCCNs. In addition, we were pleased to receive a detailed update from the two pilot centres of the Lower Silesian Oncology Centre (Wroclaw, Poland) and the Lung Cancer Network (Luxembourg), which are implementing a CCCN for Lung Cancer. Last but not least the Antwerp University Hospital (UZA) presented their first preliminary results on the feasibility study to analyse guideline adherence with the help of automatic collection of guideline-based Quality Indicators on the example of Pancreatic Cancer. The Set of Quality Indicator for Pancreatic Cancer developed in the Joint Action iPAAC are the foundation of this pilot.

We are looking very much forward to continue the great collaboration within WP6. The next WP6 meeting will take on 01 July 2024 and will be hosted by National Institute of Public Health (NIH), Warsaw, Poland
