Abstrakt: | Small-Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) accounts for 15 % of all lung cancer cases. Due to comorbidities and its aggressive behaviour, patients are highly symptomatic even at a non-metastatic stage. Standardizing the care pathway and introducing a simultaneous care approach could address the unmet needs of this disease. However, there is no uniformity in the involvement of palliative care physicians and in the simultaneous use of palliative care and cancer therapies. In this context, 13 experts from Lazio region undertook a process to deepen their understanding of the regional provision of simultaneous care to patients with SCLC by structuring and carrying out a survey. The survey covered 35-52 % of SCLC cases in the region, confirming heterogeneous results in both management and therapeutic approach, particularly in the area of simultaneous care. The working group met to define practical recommendations with the aim of standardizing the management of this disease.
