About this trial
The LUCINAE Registry is an international, multicenter observational study collecting data on patients with thoracic cancers (including lung cancer) who are expecting a child. This includes women diagnosed during pregnancy, women who become pregnant during or after cancer, and men receiving cancer treatment at the time their partner conceives.
Because thoracic cancers during pregnancy are rare, there is limited information to guide clinical decisions. This registry aims to describe patient characteristics, diagnostic approaches, treatments, and maternal and fetal outcomes. Data are collected retrospectively and prospectively from participating centers.
The results of this registry are expected to improve understanding of thoracic cancers in this setting and support the development of future clinical recommendations.
