Assessment of the interval between diagnosis and definitive treatment of lung cancer at a public institution in São Paulo
The identified interval is concerning and exposes patients to elevated risks during this waiting period. This prolonged duration poses potential threats to patient health, resulting in decreased quality of life, increased risk of disease progression, reduced chances of cure, and diminished overall survival prospects. Addressing and minimizing this extended interval is crucial for improving patient outcomes and enhancing the effectiveness of lung cancer treatment.
