Survival gains from first-line systemic therapy in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer in the U.S., 1990-2015: progress and opportunities.
The objectives of this study were to quantify survival gains from 1990, when best supportive care only was standard, to 2015 and to estimate the impact of expanded use of new systemic therapies in clinically appropriate patients. By using simulation modeling to quantify metastatic non-small cell lung cancer survival gains from 1990-2015, the researchers estimated that the one-year survival proportion and mean per-patient survival increased by 14.1 percent and 4.2 months, respectively.
