Summary : Two thousand lung cancer patients were registered at Grenoble’s university hospital joint oncology clinic from 1/1/1982 to 12/31/1991. These cases consisted of 449 small cell lung cancers (SCLC) and 1,551 non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). SCLC patients had a 4.6% and 2.9% survival rate at 5 and 10 years and only 7.2% of patients had a survival longer than 30 months.The main prognostic factors for survival were age, sex, TNM stage and WHO performance status. There was no increase in survival during the 2 periods of the study. NSCLC patients had a 14% and 7% survival rate at 5 and 10 years. Among 727 stage III or IV patients not treated with surgery, 2% were alive at 30 months. The main prognostic factors for survival were age, histology, TNM stage and WHO performance status. There was no increase in survival during the 2 periods of the study. |
