Value-Based Medicine (VBM) for Lung Cancer

This is a prospective observational monocentric trial. The primary endpoint is the validation of predictive models. These predictive models will be used to develop a personalized clinical-functional risk profile for estimating in advance, prior to surgery, the probability for a patient to experience surgical complications, pain, fatigue, dyspnea, as well as issues related to physical function, role, social, and emotional well-being, up to 12 months post-discharge.

The goal of this prospective observational monocentric study is to validate a predictive models in patients with diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer eligible for surgical lung resection (lobectomy/typical and atypical segmentectomy) with or without neo-adjuvant and adjuvant therapy. Participants will be asked to complete quality of life questionnaires before surgery and then at 30 days, 4 months, 8 months and 12 months post discharge. The informations collected through questionnaires, along with clinical data will be used to validate the predictive models created. These models will then be utilized to develop a personalized clinical-functional risk profile for estimating in advance, prior to surgery, the probability for a patient to experience surgical complications, pain, fatigue, dyspnea, as well as issues related to physical function, role, social, and emotional well-being, up to 12 months post-discharge.
