There is currently a lot of variation in the way lung cancer rehabilitation programs are evaluated. This places unnecessary burden on patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals and also limits how research findings can be combined.

The UNITE Core Outcome Set Project is an international consensus study to develop a standardised set of outcomes - a core outcome set - used to evaluate lung cancer rehabilitation programs.

This project involves a group of clinicians, researchers and consumer advocates and is supported by the Victorian Cancer Agency, The University of Melbourne and The Lung Foundation Australia.
