Fast Track lung Cancer Service in a tertiary care centre
Very helpful audit. I notice that there were 60 (ish) cancers and 78 in the "benign" group. Do you feel that this ratio is about right" or that to pick up all cancers with a service like this one would expect a higher number in the "benign" category? Did any of the "benign" prove to be malignant at a later date? Thank you.
