The Danish lung cancer registry: A nationwide validation study

The Danish Lung Cancer Registry (DLCR) has monitored interventions and outcomes of all Danish patients diagnosed with lung cancer with a high level of completeness since its establishment in the year 2000 [1,2]. The aims of the DLCR are to evaluate treatment response and to compare and streamline treatment within the five administrative regions of Denmark, in order to improve lung cancer treatment and overall survival [3]. The DLCR was not initiated as a research tool, however, it has been utilized for clinical and epidemiological research in several studies [4].
