Our objectives were to 1) examine rates of guideline non-concordance in a large vertically integrated health system; 2) examine factors associated with non-concordant care, and 3) identify geographical patterns of non-concordant care.

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Accurate risk stratification is essential for optimizing treatment strategies. A 14-gene RNA-level assay of lung cancer, which involves quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples, offers a promising approach.

Purpose: Although South Korea's health insurance has a co-payment-decreasing policy for cancer survivors, information on the extent of financial toxicity and its related factors is limited. We assessed the level of financial toxicity and the association of high levels of financial toxicity with employment concerns after diagnosis and cancer-related distress in working-age cancer survivors.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted.
