Survival of Australian lung cancer patients and the impact of distance from and attendance at a thoracic specialist centre: a data linkage study.
Elizabeth TraceyBrian McCaughanTim Badgery-ParkerJane YoungBruce ArmstrongPublished in: Thorax (2014)
NSCLC outcome is best when patients are treated in a specialist hospital. Greater distance to the NASH can affect its outcome by reducing the likelihood of being treated in a specialist hospital. Research is needed into patient and health service barriers to referral of NSCLC patients for specialist care.
