What is the National Lung Cancer Audit (NLCA)?
This is a national clinical audit assessing the quality of services and care provided to individuals with lung cancer in England and Wales. The National Lung Cancer Audit collects clinical information about the treatment of all patients newly diagnosed with lung cancer in England and Wales and information about their outcomes.
The audit began collecting data nationally in 2005, and since then has become as exemplar of national cancer audit. The audit was previously run by the Royal College of Physicians. From 1 February 2022, the NLCA will be delivered by the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
