Diagnostic Workup, Treatment Patterns, and Clinical Outcomes in Early-Stage IB-IIIA Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Patients in Denmark.

ABSTRACT: Despite recent improvements in early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), disease relapse remains challenging. Moreover, real-world evidence on long-term follow-up of disease-free survival (DFS) and recurrence patterns in a large, unselected cohort of early-stage NSCLC patients is lacking. This cohort study aimed to assess clinical characteristics, diagnostic workup, treatment, survival, and risk of disease relapse among early-stage NSCLC patients.
