154 The 2023 Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) National re-audit of radical radiotherapy for Non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) – changing Standards of Care in UK practice

The Royal College of Radiologists ’ (RCR) audit of radical radiotherapy (RR) for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in 2013 found evidence of under-treatment compared to international comparators, marked variability between cancer networks (CN), elderly patients less likely to receive guideline recommended treatments (GRT), and a low access to technology. Various national and local interventions have since been completed. Our 2023 re-audit has demonstrated a 70% increase in RR with less variability in GRT for the elderly, but similar variation between CN.
