52 Patient outcome at rapid access lung cancer clinic

The lung cancer diagnostic pathway comprises multiple investigations with aim of achieving diagnosis or exclusion of lung cancer within 28 days of referral. First investigation is typically CT thorax, followed by “bundle” of investigations for suspected lung cancer. At our institution, our “rapid lung cancer clinic” arranges the initial CT and subsequent investigations. However, cancer pick-up rate, incidental CT findings and subsequent follow-up generated from rapid clinic remains unclear.
