Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer incidence and mortality worldwide as it is for highand middle-income countries. A major decline in lung cancer incidence and mortality might be mainly due to the reduction on tobacco smoking prevalence since survival rates has not significantly improved despite the advances in diagnosis and treatment. Lung cancer is broadly classified into two categories, based on the type of tumor cells: small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Among them, is the most frequent type and is subdivided into histological types: Adenocarcinoma Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung arge cells carcinoma. Additional biological complexity has been uncovered through intense research in recent years, including different molecular subtypes with specific targetable characteristics. Diagnosing cancer at early stages (I or II) is critical as it may offer patients a better prognosis in terms of overall survival )for instance, patients diagnosed at stage IA have a 5- year survival rate higher than 80%, compared to less than 10% for those diagnosed at stage IV ostly because the possibility for most patients to undergo surgery or radiotherapy, as potentially curative interventions. A study among resectable lung cancer in Colombia found overall 3-year survival for patients with and without relapse 78% and 96%, respectively Early-stage may have a considerable recurrence rate despite of opportune and complete resections and the Colombian study found stage II (T3 and N1 as independent factors) and pleura invasion associated with a higher risk of recurrence.
Cancer is a high-cost disease that generates an important economic impact on healthcare systems. It is possible that system fragmentation can potentially be associated to poorer outcomes for these patients. Colombia has an individual insurance-based system with two affiliation regimes:
5,422 studies on the registry are indexed under Lung Neoplasms; 1,346 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 267 is above the median of 200 across 1,434 observational studies indexed under Lung Neoplasms.

Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
The study sample will include patients ≥ 18 years old, newly diagnosed with resectable stage IA, IB, II, IIIA, and IIIB NSCLC from January 1st, 2017, to December 31st, 2023, in at least four healthcare institutions selected in Colombia. The ICD-10 code to identify the patients in the study will be from C33X to C3492 corresponding to lung cancer

All inclusion and exclusion criteria will be reviewed by the investigator or qualified designee to ensure that the subject qualifies for the study.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

To identify the patient journey of subjects diagnosed with resectable stage IA, IB, II, IIIA, and IIIB Non-small Cell Lung Cancer in Colombia
Other: Medical chart review will be performed in patients with resectable stage
The study will focus on patients with a new diagnosis of resectable stage IA, IB, II, IIIA, and IIIB non-small cell lung cancer diagnosed between January 2017 and December 2023. Data collection will be organized into three specific time periods: first, the index period, which will consist of confirmed diagnosis patients from January 2017 to December 2023; second, the prediagnosis period, defined as 18 months prior to the index period, this is from July 2015 to January 2017; and lastly, a follow-up period that will allow a minimum duration of six months. As a result, the data cutoff date for this study will be set for June 2024.
