Abstract
Background: ALK rearrangements account for around 5% of non-small-cell lung cancers. Aim: This study surveys physicians on the potential efficacy of a mobile application in improving the management of ALK-rearranged non-small-cell lung cancer, through knowledge, treatment adherence and real-time adverse events reporting. Materials & methods: A total of 118 physicians from 11 countries in the Middle East participated. Results & conclusion: Results indicate 94% support for enhancing team communication via an application, and 93% believe real-time adverse events reporting improves the quality of care. Participants found an ALK-rearrangement patient-physicians forum valuable for communication improvement. Motivations for application use included treatment planning (73%), care enhancement (60%) and contributing to publications (40%).
