Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in lung cancer: Experiences from a nationwide feasibility study

Lung cancer is the most frequent cancer-related cause of death in Denmark and Europe. Approximately 3,600 people die of the disease each year in Denmark [1], and in Europe in year 2017, the predicted number of deaths from lung cancer was>275,000 [2]. Survival has improved significantly during the past 10 years. Improved survival, meaning more years lived with lung cancer, makes it imperative to increase the focus on the course of the disease from the patients ’ perspective.
