Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in Singapore. There are many unmet needs of patients coping with lung cancer. Lung Cancer Education and Advocacy for Patients (LEAP) was launched in 2019 with the aim to educate, support and empower our patients. As the patients’ voices and experiences are integral to advancing lung cancer care, LEAP has set up a patient advocate council to keep educational and research efforts patient-centric, improve patient journeys and provide holistic care.
