Differences between 2018 and 2024 were assessed using the Mann–Whitney U test, while temporal trends across the study period were evaluated using the Kruskal–Wallis test.ResultsA total of 2,691 patients were included. During the study period, the annual number of patients increased progressively, reflecting the expansion of the pathway. The median duration of the LCP significantly decreased from 9 days (IQR 2–23) in 2018 to 1 day (IQR 0–8) in 2024 (p < 0.001). A significant temporal trend was observed across the entire study period (p < 0.001). The median time from LCP closure to surgery was 29 days (IQR 15–43) in 2018 and 35 days (IQR 23–43) in 2024 (p = 0.013). During multidisciplinary evaluation, 447 patients (16.6%) did not proceed to surgery because of advanced disease, comorbidities, functional limitations, or patient preference.ConclusionsA structured Lung Cancer Pathway was associated with improved efficiency of the diagnostic and decision-making process over a seven-year period. The LCP model allowed standardized evaluation of patients with suspected or confirmed lung cancer, including those ultimately considered unsuitable for surgery. Although the retrospective design does not allow causal inference, these findings support the potential value of structured multidisciplinary pathways in optimizing workflow organization and clinical decision-making in thoracic oncology.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1931138 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1931138 2026-08-20T00:00:00Z Review Massimiliano BassiDiego Gonzalez-RivasJacopo VannucciMarco Anile https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1904266 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1904266 2026-08-19T00:00:00Z Brief Research Report Peiyu LiHaitao XiaoXuewen XuRu Wang https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1719697 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1719697 2026-08-19T00:00:00Z Case Report Zhaohua PeiYun ChenLinjun ZhaoLong ZhengYuanhan LinXue Zhao https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1761198 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1761198 2026-08-19T00:00:00Z Original Research Xiaowei HuangHeng Wang https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1756737 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1756737 2026-08-19T00:00:00Z Case Report Yuxin XiaoYutao WangKuiquan SongYan Sun https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1876422 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1876422 2026-08-19T00:00:00Z Case Report Tongtong ZhangFuhai YanLingna ShiHui Zhang
