Personalized risk assessment for lung cancer surgery

Validation of Predictive Model in Value-based Medicine for Lung Cancer and Analysis of Its Implications for Patient Communication

Observational European Institute of Oncology · NCT06703866

This study is testing a way to create personalized risk profiles for patients with non-small cell lung cancer to see how surgery might affect their quality of life and recovery.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to validate predictive models for patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer who are eligible for surgical lung resection. Participants will complete quality of life questionnaires before surgery and at multiple intervals post-discharge to gather data on surgical complications, pain, fatigue, dyspnea, and overall well-being. The collected information will help develop personalized clinical-functional risk profiles to estimate the likelihood of various outcomes after surgery. This approach seeks to enhance patient care by providing tailored risk assessments prior to surgical intervention.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with a diagnosis of non-small cell lung carcinoma who are eligible for surgical lung resection.

Not a fit: Patients with benign lesions or those who have previously undergone lung surgery for recurrence may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved pre-surgical risk assessments, allowing for better patient management and outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using predictive models for surgical outcomes, indicating that this approach has potential for success.
