Resumo(s)
Lung cancer is one of the most frequent and deadliest type of cancer nowadays. The success of cancer treatment is measured with biomarkers and evaluated by the survival rate. However, according to a patient-centered care, outcomes that are important for lung cancer patients should be considered in the treatment of the disease. Aspects such as health-related quality of life, sleep quality, capacity to perform basic activities, sexual health or fatigue are results in health that matter to the patients, sometimes even more than the overall survival rate. By evaluating which outcomes matter to the patients, medicine becomes more aligned to each patients’ desires
