Characterization of pneumonia and other factors leading to poorer survival across all age groups in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lung cancer death rates and incidence in both men and women have decreased over the past two decades. However, certain subsets of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have arisen with poor outcomes. Identifying factors which contribute to poorer outcomes as well as those that inform early detection strategies remain unmet needs. We present data from a contemporaneous group of NSCLC patients that received care at a single University teaching hospital to understand clinical and pathological factors influencing outcomes in the past decade.

Methods

A cohort of 2,289 patients with NSCLC who established care at the Rogel Cancer Center, University of Michigan between January 2011 and April 2019 were identified. Patient characteristics and clinical outcomes were recorded us
