Received grant in 2019
DCCC has funded 200,000 DKK to the project.
The NAVIGATE trial is a clinical randomized intervention project on improved treatment adherence in socially vulnerable lung cancer patients. Socially vulnerable lung cancer patients perform poorer than more resourceful lung cancer patients in virtually all parameters.
The project will prepare, adapt and test the effects of an intervention designed to identify socially vulnerable lung cancer patients and optimise treatment by:
- Increasing the ability of patients to receive optimal treatment
- Increasing patient participation in optimal treatment
- Increasing patient participation in treatment
- Increasing patient participation in followup programs
- Increasing patient participation in rehabilitation and rehabilitation services
