Comorbidity and Survival in Lung Cancer Patients

Abstract: Background: As the population of the United States ages, there will be increasing numbers of lung cancer patients with comorbidities at diagnosis. Comorbid conditions are important factors in both the choice of the lung cancer treatment and outcomes. However, the impact of individual comorbid conditions on patient survival remains unclear.Methods: A population-based cohort study of 5,683 first-time diagnosed lung cancer patients was captured using the Nebraska Cancer Registry (NCR) linked with the Nebraska Hos… Show more

“…This proportion is somewhat higher than that found in a recent large study of 5683 patients with lung cancer, in which renal disease was recorded in 5.7% of patients [19]. This might be explained by the fact that we investigated lung cancer patients with bone metastasis which was already present at the time of diagnosis in 40% of the patients.…”

“…Most cases of lung cancer are diagnosed in their advanced stages, compromising long-term survival (1-year survival rate of ∼10%) [2]. Platinum-based therapy is the recommended first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC.…”

“…Variations in the distribution of stage at diagnosis (resulting from different screening and early-detection practices) can influence overall relative survival (all stages combined), and differences in treatment options or access to care (or both) can affect relative survival both overall and by stage 9,10 . Comorbidities can also influence patient outcomes 11,12 .…”
