Experience and Care Pathway of Patients with Lung Cancer: An Online International Survey.

Introduction: This research sought to identify trends in the patient with lung cancer (LC) care pathway, experiences, and needs, across geographies and healthcare settings.

Methods: Patients living with LC for more than 18 years in nine countries completed an online survey covering these domains-demographic, disease, treatment, and patient preferences for information and support services. Recruitment was primarily from patient with LC communities on online platforms.

Patient Perspectives on Value Dimensions of Lung Cancer Care: Cross-sectional Web-Based Survey.

Background: While the lung cancer (LC) treatment landscape has rapidly evolved in recent years, easing symptom burden and treatment side effects remain central considerations in disease control.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the relative importance of dimensions of LC care to patients, and to explore the disease burden, including socioeconomic aspects not commonly covered in patient-reported outcomes instruments.

Methods: A questionnaire was sent to patients with LC and their caregivers to rate the value of a diverse set of quality of life dimensions in care, to evaluate communication between health care professionals (HCPs) and patients, and to explore the economic impact on respondents.

COVID-19 and the multidisciplinary care of patients with lung cancer: an evidence-based review and commentary.

Delivering lung cancer care during the COVID-19 pandemic has posed significant and ongoing challenges. There is a lack of published COVID-19 and lung cancer evidence-based reviews, including for the whole patient pathway. We searched for COVID-19 and lung cancer publications and brought together a multidisciplinary group of stakeholders to review and comment on the evidence and challenges.
