ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at ways to help patients with lung cancer, specifically a type called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), get involved in rehabilitation programs that can improve their health and quality of life. In Denmark, many patients diagnosed with lung cancer are not participating in these important rehabilitation programs. The trial aims to see if setting up an "early contact conference" between the hospital and local communities can encourage more patients to join these programs. This conference will take place when patients are receiving their second treatment and will help everyone involved—like doctors and local health services—understand the patient's condition better.

To be eligible for this trial, participants should be receiving their first treatment for NSCLC and must be able to understand and communicate in Danish. If you join the trial, you can expect to have a conference call that connects your healthcare team and local support services, aimed at getting you the help you need as early as possible. This approach is easy to put into practice if it proves successful and is also cost-effective. The trial is currently recruiting participants, and it's open to all genders within the age range of 65 to 74 years.
