Summary:Introduction. Lung cancer (LC) is one of the leading causes of mortality in Russia and in all other the  world. Late detection of LC is a healthcare system issue because of most of patients are asymptomatic. Aim. The aim of    the study was to analyze the structure of healthcare resources in the group of patients with non-small cell LC (NSCLC) in  St. Petersburg. Materials and methods. The database of electronic medical records was created by combining the information from National cancer register and governmental medical insurance system, which included the patient with NSCLC diagnosed between 2011 and 2020 years. The data about the high technology medical services received by patients was added in the database as well. Results. None of the existing electronic medical records system is able to make visible all  the medical services received by a specific patient.

When building the hospital model of the NSCLC patient aiming the rational planning of healthcare resources the stage of the disease is the most important because it is strongly linked with the healthcare resources provided to the patient.
