Impact of patient and tumor characteristics on various aspects of the non-small cell lung cancer patient journey in Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia: A multicenter, non-interventional, retrospective cohort study

In this retrospective cohort study we examined how patient and tumor characteristics influences NSCLC treatment in Romania, Bulgaria, and Serbia, and revealed significant regional differences in baseline characteristics, treatment preferences, and influencing factors for stage IV NSCLC in these countries.
