How long did it take you to get diagnosed?

Do you think your diagnosis of lung cancer was delayed in some way? Did it take longer than you expected to get a diagnosis and be treated?

We are a group of researchers at RAND, a nonprofit nonpartisan research institution, leading a study to learn more about why and how delays in diagnosing lung cancer happen, how such delays impact patients, and how to improve the diagnostic process.

We would like to speak with people diagnosed with lung cancer in the United States in the last 24 months who believe their diagnosis was delayed in some way. We would like to speak with you about your diagnostic journey in a one-on-one virtual research interview, scheduled at your convenience. You will receive a gift card as a thank you for your time. All responses will be kept confidential.

You can also message me, Sangeeta Ahluwalia, Lead Investigator, if you have further questions or want to participate.
