Description of the population covered by the data source in the catchment area whose data are not collected (e.g., people who are registered only for private care)

Patients who exercised their right to object (opt-out) are excluded from the data source. Patients are recruited in approximately 30 participating centres in France, including comprehensive cancer centres (CLCC), university hospitals (CHU), general hospitals (CH) and private facilities.
The data source does not provide exhaustive national coverage: the catchment population corresponds to the active lung-cancer population of the participating centres
