This document summarizes the key findings from the 3rd LuCE (Lung Cancer Europe) clinical trials report. It discusses the report's methodology, including surveys of patients, advocates, and specialists across Europe. The summary highlights that most respondents were aged 56-65, women, and from several European countries. It also outlines barriers patients face in accessing clinical trial information and participating in trials. The document then discusses how LuCE has disseminated the report and makes recommendations for how advocacy groups can utilize the report findings.
