The clinico-pathological characteristics of surgically treated young women with NSCLC.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Non-small cell lung cancer diagnosed in young patients is rare. Younger patients with lung cancer are mostly female and have a more advanced stage at initial diagnosis. To our knowledge, no studies have compared single-surgical treatment in different age groups among women. Our study aimed to elucidate the clinicopathological characteristics and the best strategies for surgically treating young women with non-small-cell lung cancer.

Methods

The data were collected retrospectively from the Polish Lung Cancer Study Group database. Women who were surgically treated for non-small-cell lung cancer between 2007 and 2020 were included in the study. The participants (n=11,460) were divided into two subgroups: aged ≤55 and >55 years.
