Abstract

Stage IV small cell lung cancer (SCLC) has a median survival of less than 12 months, but rates of long term survival remain unclear. The importance of understanding long term survival increased recently with studies demonstrating improved survival with immune checkpoint inhibitors plus standard chemotherapy. We pursued an analysis of real world outcomes of patients in the province of Manitoba, Canada with stage IV SCLC treated with platinum-etoposide chemotherapy to clarify the likelihood of long term survival and predictive factors.
