Abstract

Gender has been reported as a predictor for nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) survival. Most of the reports are limited to selected groups of patients. The magnitude of gender effect on NSCLC survival across disease stage, tumor histology, and therapies needs to be further characterized. A cohort of 4,618 patients diagnosed with NSCLC was prospectively enrolled and actively followed. Vital status of each patient was verified through multiple complementary sources. Cox proportional hazards models were developed to compare postdiagnosis survival between genders adjusting for age at diagnosis, tumor histology and grade, stage, pack-years smoked, and treatment received (resection, radiation, or chemotherapy). There were 2,724 men (59%) and 1,894 women (41%), with a median age at diagnosis of 68 years in men and 66 in women (p < 0.01). More men smoked and were heavier smokers than women. Adenocarcinoma was the most frequent histology in both genders. No difference was found in stage and treatment between genders. The estimated survival in men was 51% (95% CI: 49%, 53%) and 15% (95% CI: 12%, 17%) at one and five years, respectively, and in women was 60% (95% CI: 58%, 62%) and 19% (95% CI: 16%, 22%). Men were at a significantly increa...Continue Reading
