About this trial
The aim of this study is to investigate the frequency and implications of pulmonary hypertension in lung cancer patients. To do so, data will be collected from all lung cancer patients at the university hospital Giessen. All data will be analyzed for possible hints of pulmonary hypertension as a comorbidity in lung cancer patients. All information will be generated from the regular guidelines based course of treatment and there will be no interventions. This study will serve as a prospective register for all lung cancer patients treated at the university hospital Giessen.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Pulmonary function test measured via Spirometry.
vital capacity, total lung capacity, forced expiratory volume in one second, functional vital capacity, diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide, arterial partial pressure of oxygen; all measured as % of predicted normal values.
sPAP values measured via Echocardiography.
systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) measured in millimetre of mercury (mmHg).
Body mass index.
weight and height will be combined to report BMI in kg/m\^2.
Overall Survival and Progression Free Survival measured in days.
Overall Survival and Progression free survival in days will be determined by Kaplan-Meier Analysis .Measuared in (st) (time from diagnosis to death)
