Management and survival outcomes of patients with lung cancer at a leading radiotherapy centre in Sub-Saharan Africa: a cross-sectional study

The predominance of advanced-stage disease, reliance on palliative care, systemic chemotherapy and disparities in access to advanced therapies highlight significant challenges faced by healthcare providers. Addressing these barriers through targeted interventions, infrastructure investments and policy changes could significantly improve lung cancer outcomes in the region. A focus on early detection, comprehensive diagnostics and equitable access to advanced treatments is essential for enhancing survival rates and quality of life for lung cancer patients in this region.
