    A retrospective analysis of 2,691 patients treated under a structured Lung Cancer Pathway (LCP) was conducted from 2018 to 2024.

  • 2

    The median length of the LCP significantly decreased from 9 days in 2018 to 1 day by 2024 (p < 0.001).

  • 3

    The median interval between LCP closure and surgery increased from 29 days in 2018 to 35 days in 2024 (p = 0.013).

  • 4

    16.6% of patients evaluated did not undergo surgery due to advanced disease, comorbidities, or individual preference.

    The study indicates that a structured LCP enhances diagnostic efficiency and decision-making in lung cancer care over seven years.
