Trendy v léčbě rakoviny plic

English summary: Trends in lung cancer treatment. The project uses data from the Czech National Cancer Registry (CNCR) to provide a detailed description of diagnosis, pharmacotherapy, radiotherapy, surgical procedures and combinations thereof across different lines of treatment and stages of lung cancer. Particular emphasis is placed on analysing changes in treatment procedures over the last five years, during which new therapies have been introduced into clinical practice. In addition, patients’ overall survival and the factors influencing it are tracked. At the level of the anonymised patient ID, month and healthcare facility, data on prescriptions for reimbursed medicinal products (ATC codes) and on procedures performed are recorded. For selected medications, the dose is calculated using a coefficient table, which makes it possible to differentiate the intensity of the prescribed therapy. The morphology (origin, code, grade), TNM classification and date of diagnosis are also extracted from the CNCR. Finally, the month and cause of death, where known, are recorded, and the patient is assigned to the age group for the respective year of recording. The outcome of the project will be a scientific publication describing trends and developments in the treatment of lung cancer.
