Clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis analysis of stage IB non-small cell lung cancer-a retrospective study from a Chinese medical center.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prognosis of stage IB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is not satisfactory, and studies on stage IB NSCLC remain lacking. The study aimed to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors of patients with stage IB NSCLC, and to provide new evidence for clinical management.

Methods

The baseline characteristics of the patients were obtained statistically, and factors affecting the prognosis were analyzed using survival analysis and Cox proportional hazard models.
