Management and outcomes of patients with chronic obstructive lung disease and lung cancer in a public healthcare system.
<h4>Hypothesis</h4>There is limited data on the care and outcomes of individuals with both chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer, particularly in advanced disease. We hypothesized such patients would receive less cancer treatment and have worse outcomes.<h4>M...
