Survey of Challenges in Access to Diagnostics and Treatment for NET Patients (SCAN)
SCAN was launched worldwide on September 16th, 2019 and concluded on November 30th after 2 months and a half fieldwork.
During Sept-Nov 2019, 2359 NET patients and 436 healthcare professionals (HCPs) from 68 countries completed an online self-reported survey.
INCA, together with its 26 member organizations across 6 continents invited NET patients and healthcare professionals to SCAN the challenges in NET diagnostics, treatment and care.
SCAN was a global assessment:
- among NET patients & healthcare professionals
- by a self-administered online questionnaire
- available in 14 languages: Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese, Dutch/Flemish, French, English, German, Hindi, Japanese, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swahili
- less than 15 minutes to complete
SCAN key measurements:
- The availability of NET diagnostic tools
- The level of access to NET treatments
- The level of access to ongoing checks
- The level of access to healthcare professionals
- Out-of-pocket costs of NET treatment and care
- The provision of supportive services
- Leading healthcare issues NET patients face today
