The EnRICH program is a prospective clinical cohort of 1000
patients with lung cancer, which aims to better define, treat and
care for patients in Sydney Catalyst member hospitals, and to
provide infrastructure for translational cancer research. The
program is capturing diagnostic tumour specimens and serial blood
samples for molecular and biomarker studies, with matched
demographic, clinical and outcome data to map current patterns of
care for the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, benchmarked
against quality indicators. Patient reported outcomes are being
collected to assess patient and carer perceptions of care, unmet
needs and quality of life to identify opportunities for improving
services and patient/carer morbidity.
Patient recruitment commenced in June 2017.
