Lung cancer continues to pose a significant global health challenge, accounting for 1.8 million fatalities annually. The greatest impact is observed in low and middle-income countries (LMICs), where most lung cancer-related deaths occur.   Recognizing the gaps in early detection of lung cancer, AstraZeneca joins Malaysia’s Ministry of Health and global leaders at the #WorldCancerCongress 2024 to discuss the significance of prioritizing lung cancer screenings and improving patient outcomes. In this article, Datuk Seri Dr. Dzulkefly bin Ahmad, Malaysia Health Minister, elaborates on the efforts to enhance lung cancer detection and care in LMICs. Spearheading the Lung Health resolution, the Ministry Of Health, Malaysia (KKM) is advocating for worldwide integration of lung health initiatives, including lung cancer, to drive better outcomes.

Enhancing early detection of lung cancer to reduce NCD burden Recognizing lung cancer screening gaps among Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs), we engaged Malaysia’s Ministry of Health at the recent #WorldCancerCongress 2024 to discuss the impact of prioritizing screening for lung cancer and transforming patient outcomes. We are proud to have this extraordinary opportunity to help improve patient outcomes by transforming cancer care through a multi-stakeholder effort to deliver tailored and resource-appropriate solutions. We commend the Malaysian Ministry of Health in spearheading the Lung Health resolution, a call for global efforts to strengthen the planning and provision of integrated lung health initiatives!

Lung cancer remains a major health burden across the globe, contributing to 1.8 million deaths per year. Low and middle-income countries (LMICs) bear the greatest burden, with majority of lung cancer deaths occurring in the region. At the recent #WorldCancerCongress, we are pleased to join the Malaysia Ministry of Health and other global leaders and experts to champion a change in lung cancer to increase early detection. In this article, Malaysian Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr. Dzulkefly bin Ahmad calls for global action to address lung cancer through a resolution that focuses on integrated lung health initiatives on screening, diagnosis, and treatment of lung diseases — including lung cancer. https://lnkd.in/gMQKPznx Ti Hwei How, Sylvia Varela, Vinod Narayanan, Marq Marquez, Hicham Mirghani, Nicole Underwood, Irina Efanova, Nur Syimah Izzah, Dr Thinakaran M Selvarajah

It's Time to Rethink Lung Cancer Care   Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths globally, accounting for an estimated 1.8 million deaths annually (18.7% of all cancer deaths). This statistic underscores the immense burden to cancer mortality worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).[1]    Hear from Malaysia's Health Minister, Datuk Seri Dr. Dzulkefly bin Ahmad, on a global approach to transforming lung cancer care amidst other lung diseases, and the opportunity to make lung health a global priority with the submission of the WHA Lung Health Resolution.   https://lnkd.in/gvieyZkv   Ref: 1. https://lnkd.in/g7gQHXVR

This article highlights the need for early lung cancer detection in low- and middle-income countries, where resources are limited and patients are often diagnosed too late. In Malaysia, nearly 90% of lung cancer cases are detected at stage 3 or 4, with only a 9% five-year survival rate. The Malaysian Ministry of Health, in partnership with AstraZeneca, is using AI-assisted screening to improve early diagnosis, already benefiting thousands of high-risk patients. Global collaborations are crucial for making lung cancer screening accessible and reducing mortality, especially in high-risk populations. #lungscreen #international #AI

🌍🫁 On #WorldLungCancerDay, we highlight the crucial findings from the UKLS trial on the impact of socioeconomic status on lung cancer screening. Early detection through LDCT screening shows significant benefits, but we must enhance engagement and access for lower SES groups. Let's work together to ensure equitable healthcare for all. #SyenzaNews #LungCancerAwareness #HealthcareEquity #EarlyDetection #PublicHealth https://lnkd.in/dhNi9-ia

🔍 Tackling cancer requires a paradigm shift. The EU Mission on Cancer aims to enhance primary prevention efforts, yet many Eastern European countries still face significant barriers. 💡 The living lab in Arges, Romania, serves as a beacon of hope by fostering collaborative strategies that engage diverse stakeholders. This holistic approach is vital for reducing health inequalities and improving cancer outcomes. 🤝 What innovative strategies do you think could further support cancer prevention in your region? #PublicHealth #HealthEquity #EUmission #Collaboration Marius Geanta, MD https://lnkd.in/etPDHU27
