Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18+) with thoracic cancers (including lung cancer, mesothelioma, thymic tumors, neuroendocrine tumors, sarcomas) who are pregnant or have become pregnant in relation to their cancer, or whose partner conceived while the patient was undergoing treatment.

Probably not a fit

Patients without thoracic cancer or without pregnancy-related data may not directly benefit from the findings.

What this trial studies

The LUCINAE Registry is an international, multicenter observational effort that combines retrospective and prospective data to describe patients with thoracic cancers who are pregnant or become pregnant around cancer treatment. It includes women diagnosed during pregnancy, women who become pregnant during/after cancer, and men undergoing cancer treatment at conception. Data cover clinical characteristics, diagnostics, treatments, and maternal and fetal outcomes to inform future guidelines. The study uses two cohorts: retrospective data from medical records and prospective data with ongoing follow-up. Results aim to enhance understanding and support development of clinical recommendations for thoracic cancers in pregnancy.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the registry could inform safer treatment decisions and improve outcomes for both mothers and their babies during thoracic cancer in pregnancy.

How similar studies have gone: Previous registries provide limited, non-thoracic-specific guidance; this thoracic-focused registry is an important step for evidence in this niche.
