Approximately 85% of patients with lung cancer are diagnosed at an advanced stage that is not amenable to surgical intervention. For patients with stage metastatic non small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) or extensive-stage small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) the 5 year survival rate may be less than 1% (10).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
