Lung Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the costs, health-related quality of life and preference values from lung cancer patients assisted in a Brazilian public health care unit.
Detailed description
The costs will be assessed by micro-costing approach. All procedures involved in lung cancer at diagnosis, staging, treatment and best supportive care will be assessed. The health-related quality of life will be assessed by EORTC-QLQ-C30, EQ-5D and EORTC-QLQ-LC13 in all different stages of lung cancer. An utility measure will be considered. The preference values will be assessed via discrete choice experiment. Two scenarios will be designed and the lung cancer patients will be asked about the preferences.
