Abstract:Purpose
Over 40% stage-III non-small-cell lung cancer patients experience five-year survival following multimodality treatment. Little is known about relevant late toxicities and quality-of-life (QoL) ten years from diagnosis.
Methods
We invited long-term follow-up-patients from our randomized phase-III trial (Eberhardt et al., Journal of Clinical Oncology 2015) to participate within a structured survivorship program (SSP) including follow-up imaging, laboratory parameters, cardio-pulmonary investigations an… Show more
