Lung

If a participant was diagnosed with lung cancer during the trial, medical records of treatment for that cancer are obtained. Records were obtained only for treatments that occurred within one year of the cancer diagnosis, and include surgeries and radiation therapies.

For most purposes, treatment data can be obtained within the Lung dataset. Additional details can be found in the Lung Treatments dataset (one record per procedure per person).
