Correlation of clinical, radiologic and pathologic manifestations with prognosis in lung cancer patients

Abstract

Many different factors that are extremely variable for each individual affect the survival of lung cancer patients. Prognosis in lung cancer depends upon tumor type, patient immunity and treatment modalities. The objective of our study was to determine the influence of clinical manifestations including the patient symptoms, laboratory findings, imaging modalities and histopathologic tumor features on the prognosis in lung cancer. Another aim was to evaluate whether the collaboration of these data predicted a more accurate prognostic assessment.
