How Best to Assess the Quality of Life in Long-Term Survivors After Surgery for NSCLC? Comparison Between Clinical Predictors and Questionnaire Scores

Micro-Abstract Quality of life (QOL) is steadily gaining importance as an evaluation criterion for the clinical decision-making process in non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. We have evaluated the clinical, surgical, and pulmonary function characteristics in 67 long-term lung cancer surviv...

Zusammenfassung:	Micro-Abstract Quality of life (QOL) is steadily gaining importance as an evaluation criterion for the clinical decision-making process in non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. We have evaluated the clinical, surgical, and pulmonary function characteristics in 67 long-term lung cancer survivors who had surgery, to understand which clinical determinants (and therefore potential therapeutic targets) could better predict the QoL in these patients.
