    Totally, 1489 lung cancer patients were enrolled in the study. Most of the patients were stage 4 disease, about 68.6%. There were 114 patients who incompleted their first treatment course (7.6%). In these patients, 41 patients(35.9%) were transfered to other hospital；8 patients (7%) did not want to receive treatment anymore because they felt better；27 patients (23.6%) refused treatment due to side effects；36 patients (31.57%) received hospice care due to poor performance, and 2 patients (1.7%) incompleted their treatment due to old age.

    Conclusion
    

    Case management interventions can provide health education of treatment, improvement of side effects, and social resources to the patients.

    Through the connection of nursing cares, case management can offer continuous follow up and support to reduce incomplete therapy course and increase patient survival rate by helping patients to return to hospital to complete their therapy course.
