Abstract

Lung cancer remains the main cause of cancer deaths in the Brazilian population. Even suspecting that the numbers are under-estimated, this neoplasia occupies a place among the most prevalent. In the last decades, several changes have occurred in diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Better therapeutic results and preventive strategies depend on the constant increase on the knowledge of the epidemiological and biological characteristics of lung cancer patients in different populations. Thus, the main goal of the present project is to identify the actual scenario of lung câncer in patients from three terciary hospitals in Brazil. With the expansion of the available technology to the SUS patients, this project will turn into reality news tools that, in the future, might be applied in different medical centers in Brazil, which study and treat this disease. Through our management, the following aims will be achieved: Describe the disease in Brazil contributing to prevalence and survival data information in different geographic regions and social economic groups; Contribute to the clinic, epidemiologic and molecular profile knowledge of lung câncer in Brazil; Establish a number of informations that could be transmited to other national institutionsthat work in the fight against Lung Cancer in the future, contributing to the development of new cooperative studies; Facilitate the access to molecular diagnosis to SUS patients, a very important tool in the survival data and efficacy of treatment evaluation;üStrength the health politics planning in terms of primary, secondary and terciary prevention allowing the evaluation of cost-effectiveness for technology incorporation decisions.
