Celebrating Exceptional Lung Cancer Care Worldwide

Celebrating Exceptional Lung Cancer Care Worldwide.

Outstanding lung cancer care goes beyond individual specialists or treatment centers. It thrives when a dedicated, multidisciplinary team works together, delivering clear communication and personalized treatment plans that address both medical needs and individual preferences. Every day, such exemplary care is provided by teams around the globe.

The IASLC Cancer Care Team Award honors these remarkable teams, nominated by the patients they serve. Each year, an international panel selects one team from North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia/Rest of the World based on qualities like trust, shared decision-making, empathy, access to care, patient education, tumor testing, and support through survivorship.
