Ethics approval and consent to participate
: There was no indication to seek ethical approval for a study designed to ascertain a narrative perspective on the current state of data collection in lung cancer registration across Europe. The survey participants were lung cancer physicians who gave implied written consent by responding to the invitation to participate in the study.
: Not applicable.
: The authors declare that they have no competing interests. It was performed within a wider project working as part of a European Respiratory Society (ERS) taskforce, designing a pan-European minimum dataset for lung cancer registration and a manual for lung cancer services. Since the paper has been under review with BMC Cancer, the final report of the ERS taskforce has been submitted and accepted for publication in the ERJ; therefore this paper, and the results it contains, are cited in the taskforce final report.
