Specialist nurses and lung cancer.

摘要

Data reported in praise of specialist nurses in the UK's National Lung Cancer Audit 2010 on May 23 showed that 648% of patients with lung cancer or mesothelioma who were seen by a lung cancer nurse specialist in 2009 were given cancer treatment compared with 30.4% of those who were not seen by such a specialist nurse. Data for the audit were gathered for more than 37000 patients in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, representing about 95% of expected new cases.
