What is Treatment patterns, clinical outcomes, and healthcare resource use associated with advanced/metastatic lung cancer in China: protocol for a retrospective observational study about?

## Background Lung cancer (LC) is the most common cancer worldwide. The prevalence of LC and rate of associated mortality are high and increasing faster in China than in Western countries. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for most LCs. This study aims to be the first large, multi-center, non-interventional retrospective study of treatment patterns (type/duration, number of lines, completion rate), real-world outcomes, and medical costs among Chinese patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC (IIIb/IV) or extensive-stage small cell LC (ES-SCLC). ## Methods This study will enroll 8,800 patients (≥18 years, with a diagnosis of advanced/metastatic NSCLC made between 1 December 2013 to 30 November 2014) from 35 to 50 Chinese sites. Hospital information systems (HIS) and electronic medical records will be retrospectively reviewed, in adherence with regulatory and ethical requirements. Early-stage treatment (starting from 1 December 2010) of patients with recurrent disease or early disease progression will be examined. Data will be collected at baseline (diagnosis) and 6 and 12 months after this. Observation will end after 3 years or death. Data will be stratified by histology, st
