Abstract

In England, 30% of patients die within 90 days of diagnosis and late diagnosis is strongly implicated in comparatively poor survival shown by the International Cancer Benchmarking Partnership.

Thus, the National Optimal Lung Cancer Pathway (NOLCP) was developed to address, amongst other issues, a rapid process from progress from abnormal CXR to CT and clinic.
