Étude D-CBP : Évaluation des délais de prise en charge du cancer broncho- pulmonaire au sein du service de Pneumologie et d’Oncologie Thoracique du CHU de Caen

CERVOXY CLIN ; International audience ; Introduction: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death. Delays may have an impact on patient survival. The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic management times for patients admitted for lung cancer treatment in the Respiratory Department of CHU de Caen Normandie.Materials and methods: This is a retrospective, single-center and observational study, conducted on all patients treated for lung cancer from June 2017 to January 2018 in our department of pneumology in the Caen Normandie CHU. The main median times were investigated were: Global Time (abnormal imaging-treatment), Diagnosis time (abnormal imaging-diagnosis) and Treatment Time (diagnosis-treatment).Results: One hundred and twenty-seven (127) patients were included. Median global time was 55.5 days [31,25; 393], median diagnosis time was 22 days [13; 49], and median treatment time was 24.5 days [12,25; 45].Discussion: Our treatment times are consistent with those previously published. Areas for improvement are being developed in accordance with the 2014-2019 cancer plan, in particularly the creation in our institution of a specific care pathway for patients with lung cancer.
