Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the rates of ipsilateral pleural recurrence in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received either surgical resection or curative-intent radiotherapy.
- A retrospective analysis of 512 patients showed that 9.7% experienced recurrence, with no significant differences in pleural recurrence rates or overall recurrence between the two treatment methods.
- The findings suggest that both surgical and radiotherapy approaches have similar outcomes regarding ipsilateral pleural recurrence in stage I NSCLC patients.
Timely care is an important dimension of health care quality, but the impact of delays in care on lung cancer outcomes is unclear. Quantifying the impact of delays in cancer treatment on survival is necessary to inform resource allocation, quality improvement initiatives, and lung cancer guidelines. Review of the available literature demonstrated significant heterogeneity between studies in terms of the impact of delay.
