ST 14 - The European Lung Cancer Screening Alliance (ELCSA): Ensuring Continuity and Impact Beyond SOLACE

The Strengthening the Screening of Lung Cancer in Europe (SOLACE) project is a pioneering EU4Health initiative under Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan. Running until the end of March 2026, SOLACE has facilitated the implementation of lung cancer screening programmes across Europe, working to remove barriers so that people from all social and economic backgrounds can access screening.
To ensure the sustainability of the progress made during the SOLACE project, ESR and ERS have agreed to establish the European Lung Cancer Screening Alliance (ELCSA). ELCSA will continue the efforts initiated by SOLACE, promoting equitable access to lung cancer screening across Europe beyond the life of the project.
