Ambispective Registry of Patients Affected by Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers and the leading cause of cancer-related death. It is often diagnosed late, and there are different types of lung cancer. Today, many patients benefit from targeted therapies and immunotherapy, which have improved survival. This study will create an ambispective clinical registry of all lung cancer patients treated at Policlinico San Matteo. The registry will collect data from 2019 to 2035 to better understand: 10-year overall survival, how the disease progresses over time, how patients respond to treatments and possible side effects, how patient and tumor characteristics influence treatment choices, how different therapies work in real-world practice. All data will be securely collected whithin REDCap platform and used to improve future care and research.
• Patients ≥ 18 years diagnosed with and/or treated for lung cancer at the department of SC Oncologia 1 Unit of the Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo;
• Prospective patients (or their or legal guardians) who have the ability to understand and be willing to sign a written informed consent document;
• Retrospective patients who have signed the institutional document allowing the use of their data for research on their disease.
