AstraZeneca, a science-led, patient focused pharmaceutical company, and AC Health, a healthcare corporation with a portfolio that includes hospitals, clinics and digital health, have partnered to push for early screening for lung cancer utilizing AI through the Lung Ambition Alliance.
Health stakeholders from AstraZeneca, AC Health and Cancer Coalition Philippines join hands in the push for early lung cancer care through innovation.
The earlier the disease gets diagnosed, the better the survival rate becomes, with stage III non-small cell lung cancer having a five-year survival rate ranging from 13 to 36 percent while in stage 1 NSCLC, it can be as high as 68 to 92 percent. “In line with our bold ambition to eliminate lung cancer as a cause of death, AstraZenca is committed to creating value for Filipinos beyond the impact of our life-changing medicines through early detection, education, and treatment. With our partners in the alliance, we pledge to screen at least one million Filipino patients by 2026 for lung cancer, enabling early intervention that will change disease trajectory of lung cancer in the Philippines,” Ramin added.
