High-quality evidence is limited on the utilization and outcomes of imaging surveillance after definitive surgery for early-stage lung cancer. This study examines patterns and factors associated with guideline-recommended imaging surveillance of lung cancer survivors, in addition to rates of new or recurrent lung cancer and mortality following surgical resection, before and after the implementation of a patient tracking system designed to support imaging surveillance.
