Establishing a prospective cohort of lung cancer patients to investigate recovery after curative intent radiotherapy: a feasibility study

摘要

Background: Lung cancer is the UK's second most commonly diagnosed malignancy. To date, little research has been conducted to establish the support needs and recovery patterns of health and well-being among lung cancer patients treated with curative intent radiotherapy. This limits our ability to target services effectively to support patients better. Aims: This study aimed to assess the feasibility of collecting patient reported outcomes measures and clinical details to understand recovery after curative intent radiotherapy treatment for lung cancer.
