Abstract
Lung Cancer is known to be a complex and evolving tumour site with many of the patient's progressed into pathways being diagnosed outside of primary care through incidental findings on diagnostic tests. It is common for patients to present to acute hospitals, notably Emergency Department and Same Day Emergency Care settings, for one reason and be given a cancer diagnosis. The primary presenting condition is often the core focus e.g. chest infection, trauma injury – with the incidental lung cancer diagnosis referred for future outpatient clinic follow-up. The patient/carer experience and standard of initial messaging is significantly varied.
