National Lung Cancer Working Group
The role of the National Lung Cancer Working Group (NLCWG) is to provide advice on early detection, diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer and support the development of initiatives that will improve equitable outcomes for people with lung cancer.
Role
National Lung Cancer Working Group Guidance Documents
Members of the National Lung Cancer Working Group were commissioned to develop two guidance documents in 2017 and 2019. Given their value Te Aho o Te Kahu has decided to publish them here to allow their availability to inform lung cancer care quality improvement activity.
These documents have not been formally endorsed by Te Aho o Te Kahu as they sit outside our current approach to Quality Improvement but they do contain valuable information.
The intended users of these two documents are patients and affected whānau, clinicians specialising in lung cancer diagnosis and treatment, service providers and non-government organisations.
