Treatment delays in patients with lung cancer: a retrospective study conducted at the National Cancer Institute of Mexico between 2004 and 2021
Targeted interventions should consider patient characteristics to enhance care efficiency. Concerns should be raised about the observed increase in treatment intervals from 2014 and the associated impact on survival rates. There is an urgency for timely interventions, continuous research, and collaborative efforts to optimize care delivery and outcomes for lung cancer patients in Mexico.
