Dutch Thoracic Oncology Cohort (DuTOC)

Research aim

DuTOC aims to collect data from as many lung cancer patients in the Netherlands as possible -referring to all cancers in the chest cavity-. We hope to improve future treatments, aiming to enhance both quality of life and survival. The increasing complexity of thoracic cancers and the growing demand for healthcare data call for a new approach. DuTOC provides a robust infrastructure for both prospective and retrospective research across participating centres. After informed consent, the following is possible: • Collection of clinical data from medical records and the Dutch Cancer Registry (NKR); • Storage of tumour tissue and blood for future research; • Collection of patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) and feedback; • Possible of patient participation in sub-studies. DuTOC is currently in its start-up phase. By learning from every patient, we aim to improve care and outcomes for future patients. Submit a research proposal Researchers can submit proposals to the scientific committee via: DuTOC@umcutrecht.nl
