Contents Update Record

October 2016 (v3.0)

This document was updated following formal review of the Lung Cancer Quality Performance Indicators ( QPIs) which took place following analysis of year 3 of the lung cancer QPI data.

The following QPIs have been updated:

• QPI 6 - Surgical resection in non small cell lung cancer
• QPI 8 - Radiotherapy in inoperable lung cancer
• QPI 11 - Systemic anti cancer therapy in non small cell lung cancer
• QPI 13 - Mortality following treatment for lung cancer

The following QPIs have been archived:

• QPI 3 - Bronchoscopy

The following new QPIs have been added:

• QPI 14 - Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy ( SABR) in inoperable stage I non small cell lung cancer
• QPI 15 - Pre-treatment diagnosis

Please note the extant Clinical Trials QPI has now been added into each tumour specific QPI document (see QPI 16: Clinical Trials).

As a result of the changes above, the contents page differ from earlier versions of this document. Sections 1 - 11 and the appendices have also been updated.

Please note that this version of the Lung Cancer QPI Document applies to cases diagnosed from 1st January 2016 onwards. Where amended or new QPIs require new data items for measurement, this will apply for patients diagnosed from 1st January 2017.
