The European Respiratory Society and the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons have established a joint task force with the objective to define the guidelines for the functional evaluation of the patients with lung cancer to be submitted to radical therapy (lung surgery and/or chemoradiotherapy). This questionnaire has been compiled by a pool of experts from different countries and from different medical fields (thoracic surgeons, oncologists, radiotherapists, respiratory physicians) with the intent to assess the current practice in the fitness evaluation of the candidate for radical therapy.

The questionnaire should usually take less than 20 minutes to complete. If you cannot complete the questionnaire during your initial session, your responses will be saved and you will be able to return to complete the questionnaire at any time (using the link in your email-box).

The answers will be revised and discussed during future meetings of the task force and your point of view taken into consideration during the elaboration of the final guidelines. For this reason, we are seeking opinions from a larger audience. Your opinion matters.
