Abstract

Introduction: A lung cancer overall survival rate of 30.1% was estimated in Cuba by age and at five years in the period 2010-2014. This was the worst cancer location analyzed in the country.

Objective: Identify the prognostic factors influencing the overall survival of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer treated at the National Institute of Oncology and Radiobiology from 2010 to 2018.

Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted of all the patients registered for lung cancer (2 189 patients) from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2018.

Results: Overall survival at five years was estimated at 13% for all the patients with non-small-cell lung cancer, with a median of 8.8 months. Sex, age, histological type, clinical stage at diagnosis and surgical treatment at stage IA, were all variables with a significant influence on overall survival (p < 0.05). The best prognosis was estimated in women, patients aged 65 years or over, a different histological type (carcinoids) and patients diagnosed and treated surgically at stage IA.

Conclusions: Overall survival was low in comparison with the one estimated by similar studies published recently. Only the early diagnosis and timely surgical treatment at stage IA may ensure a significant increase in the overall survival of these patients.

Key words: overall survival; lung cancer.
