HELIOS Klinikum Emil von Behring GmbH

The aim of the DigiNet project is to improve the treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in Germany. The project promotes the transfer of the latest scientific knowledge into standard care. The DigiNet project is based on the established precision medicine program, the National Network Genomic Medicine Lung Cancer (nNGM) in Germany, whereby every patient receives molecular diagnostics and personalized therapy information after the initial diagnosis. Within the framework of the DigiNet project, specialized academic centers will be digitally connected with practitioners via a shared project database. Furthermore, a committee of experts will monitor the course of treatment and will advise the practitioners in case of critical conditions. Additionally, patient-reported outcomes will be incorporated into the treatment.

Registry of the national Network Genomic Medicine Lung Cancer (nNGM), linking data on molecular diagnostics, clinical characteristics, treatment patterns and outcomes of subjects with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from 23 specialized cancer centres and more than 400 general hospitals and oncological practices in Germany
