Résumé
The introduction of coordinated care pathways for lung cancer diagnosis and treatment is a complex process. The purpose of the French Cancer Plan 2014-2019 was to improve referral to treatment waiting times in people with suspected malignancy. The aim of this study was to assess a rapid outpatient diagnostic program for lung cancer established in 2016. This retrospective study was carried out in the Pulmonology Department at Tenon Hospital, Paris, France between May 2016 and May 2017. During this period, 118 patients (60%) of patients in the pathway were diagnosed with lung cancer. The median waiting time to first consultation (D1) was 4 (2-7) days. The median waiting time between diagnosis and treatment decision (D4) was 4 (0-8) days. The median waiting time to the first treatment (D5) was 10 (4-15) days for chemotherapy and 27 (16-34) days for surgery. The median waiting time between the first abnormal chest X-ray and the first treatment (D6) was 49 days (34-70). Referral to treatment waiting times was consistent with international recommendations. Coordinating nurses improved care pathways in lung cancer patients.
