Achieving Healthcare System Readiness and Capacity for Radioligand Therapy
On behalf of MEP Niels Geuking (EPP, Germany), we would like to cordially invite you to attend a public working session on preparing European infrastructure and healthcare systems for the latest advances in cancer care. This event will present research conducted by IQVIA Institute for Human Data Science on “The State of Radioligand Therapy Readiness in Europe,” with funding from Novartis.
Radioligand therapy (RLT) is revolutionising cancer treatment, offering targeted solutions for various cancers, including gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and prostate cancer. As this innovative approach gains momentum, it’s crucial to ensure healthcare systems are prepared to deliver RLT effectively across Europe, timely and equitably.
IQVIA Institute research in Dec 2023 aimed to scope out these levers and begin identifying the capacity for RLTs in different European countries.
On 11 April, together with Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), European Commission representatives, Nuclear Medicine Physicians, Nuclear Medicine Associations and Patient Association Leaders, we will promote a discussion intended to develop a pathway to achieving capacity and readiness for RLT for cancer treatment.
The main discussion will focus on actions and policies that are needed to overcome the key barriers that constrain the use of radioligand therapy currently across the European Union.
