Abstract

Lung cancer is the most prevalent cancer among females and males, carrying the highest cancer-related mortality rates worldwide. Nearly two-thirds of patients present in the advanced stage at diagnosis requiring palliative therapy with chemotherapy and often radiotherapy, giving a variable response, too. Knowledge of prognostic factors might guide in tailoring the therapy in resource-limited countries. Hence, we reviewed the prognostic factors affecting overall survival and disease progression in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer patients.
