About

RELANCE is a large multi-institutional study that aims to retrospectively collect information about diagnostic, treatment and outcome of patients diagnosed with locally advanced NSCLC in Brazil. It is hypothesized that there is a great heterogeneity in treatment patterns owing to inequities in access to adequate staging methods, optimal treatment and multidisciplinary teams in Brazil.

Full description

RELANCE study will collect sociodemographic and clinical data of patients diagnosed with locally advanced NSCLC in the period of January 2015 and Jun 2019 in the participating institutions. Socio-demographic characteristics, clinicopathological features, treatments patterns and outcomes will be recovered from medical charts. Disease status and survival data will be collected up to the last date of follow-up June 2021.
