Brief summary
LUCENT is an observational study focused on malignant pulmonary and tracheo-bronchial disease. It involves a large proportion of reference Italian thoracic surgery centers. The relevance of the study is related to the epidemiology of lung cancer in the world - also known as Big Killer - and the high mortality rates both in males and females. The aim of his prospective study is to collect a large bulk of postoperative patients' outcome data and to produce up-to-date descriptive statistics of patients undergoing surgery for lung cancer.
