Risk Factors Associated with a Second Primary Lung Cancer in Patients with an Initial Primary Lung Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Increased patient survivorship following initial primary lung cancer (IPLC) diagnosis and treatment has uncovered new clinical challenges as individuals post-IPLC are at growing subsequent risk of developing second primary lung cancer (SPLC). Proper SPLC surveillance guidelines aimed at monitoring IPLC survivors are crucial to enhancing health outcomes. This study aims to categorize risk factors associated with SPLC emergence in IPLC survivors for clinical use following IPLC treatment.

Materials and methods

Using the Karmanos Cancer Institute Tumor Registry, patients diagnosed with IPLC from 2000 to 2017 were identified. Patients diagnosed with SPLC were matched to individuals who did not develop SPLC. Logistic and Cox regression analyses were performed to identif
