Trendy v léčbě rakoviny plic

English summary: Trends in treatment of lung cancer. The project uses data from the National Cancer Registry (NOR) to provide a detailed description of diagnosis, drug therapy, radiation therapy, surgical procedures, and their combinations across different treatment lines and stages of lung cancer. Particular emphasis is placed on analyzing changes in treatment practices over the past five years, during which new therapies have been introduced into clinical practice. Furthermore, overall patient survival and the factors influencing it are monitored. At the level of anonymized patient ID, month, and facility, data are collected on prescriptions for reimbursed medicinal products (ATC codes) and on procedures performed. For selected medications, the dose size is calculated based on a table of coefficients, which allows for distinguishing the intensity of the indicated therapy. Morphology (source, code, grade), TNM classification, and date of diagnosis are further mapped from the NOR. Finally, the month and cause of death, if known, are recorded, and the patient is classified into the age group for the relevant year of the record. The project will result in a scientific publication describing trends and developments in the treatment of lung cancer.
