Survival analysis for 131 patients with non-small cell lung cancer after resection / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo investigate the prognostic factors of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after resection.MethodsClinical data of 131 NSCLC patients who underwent resection were reviewed and divided into chemotherapy group(86 cases) and non-chemotherapy group(45 cases) according to the treatment method.Survival rate was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method.The prognosis was analyzed by Cox proportional hazards model.ResultsThe median survival time (MST) of squamous cell carcinoma (76 cases),bronchial alveolar cell carcinoma( 8 cases),adenocarcinoma( 35 cases ),adenosquamous carcinoma (12 cases) was 60,54,34,24 months respectively (P＜0.05).For the patients of stage Ⅰ B,the MST of chemotherapy group and non-chemotherapy group was 75 and 76 months respectively(P ＞ 0.05 ).Multivariate analysis showed that tumor size,T stage,N stage,chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors (P =0.080,0.002,0.000,0.029).Conclusions Squamous cell carcinoma and bronchial alveolar cell carcinoma have better prognosis than adenocarcinoma,adenosquamous carcinoma.For the patients of stage Ⅰ B,the survival time can't be prolonged through platinum-based chemotherapy.Tumor size,T stage,N stage,chemotherapy are independent prognostic factors.
