Development of a Survival Prognostic Model for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related death, and >80% of lung cancer diagnoses are non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, when using current staging and prognostic indices, the prognosis can vary significantly. In the present study, we calculated a prognostic index for predicting overall survival (OS) in NSCLC patients. The data of 545 NSCLC patients were retrospectively reviewed. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were performed to evaluate the prognostic value of clinicopathological factors. Age (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.25, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.02-1.54), TNM stage (III, HR = 1.64, 95% CI = 1.08-2.48; IV, HR = 2.33, 95% CI = 1.48-3.69), lung lobectomy (HR = 1.96, 95% CI = 1.45-2.66), chemotherapy (HR = 1.42, 95% CI = 1.15-1.
