five cancer deaths, has been considered the leading cause of cancer death. In unsuccessful procedure. 43(95.6%) had opportunity to received other

a real public health problem The delay between the different therapeutic
sequences has a real impact on survival, which makes it”s optimization a real
public health issue. The aim of this work was to describe the care pathway
for patients treated for lung cancer at the Mohamed VI Center, as well as the
different treatment delays in our context. Method: To do this, we conducted
a monocentric, retrospective study in patients treated for lung cancer
between January 2012 and November 2017 at the Mohamed VI Cancer
treatment Center. To study this period and obtain significant results, we
referred to the statistical rules and retained one month pey year, one year
out of two, for a total of six months spread between January 2012 and
November 2017 Using the oncology department’s database, we identified
all patients with histologically confirmed lung cancer and a usable archived
record that was summarized in a farm with pre-established responses
coded as numerical variables. The key point of this study was the study of
the time between the appearance of the first clinical signs and the initiation
of the different therapeutic sequences discussed in a multidisciplinary
meeting. Result: During the study period, 125 cases of lung cancer were
collected. The average age was 57,6 years The average consult time also
called patient time was 3.92 months. As for the delays related to the health
system there are: An average diagnostic time of 63,5 days A therapeutic
delay of 67,9 days on average An average overall delay of 216,3 days The
time to diagnosis was therefore close to that recommended by the littér-
ature, while the consultation, treatment and overall time to diagnosis were
longer which significantly affects the survival curve. Conclusion: In several
countries, delays in care and access to care services, considered as in-
dicators of system performance, have become a priority in public health
policies. The establishment of more specialized oncology and radiation
oncology centers should help to reduce them A subsequent reassessment
of these delays, after correction, will male it possible to assess the evolu-
tion of the quality of the managementof this cancet at the Mohamed VI
center. Keywords: Lung cancer, delays, access to care
