Clinical characteristics and prognosis of pulmonary large cell carcinoma: A population‐based retrospective study using <scp>SEER</scp> data

Abstract

Significant findings of the study In stage IV patients, chemotherapy or radiotherapy combined with surgery could further improve survival. When surgical resection involved more than one lobe, it may be beneficial for survival prognosis. What this study adds LCC patients were principally male and over age 60, with later stages and poor survival prognosis. Age, sex, stage, primary site and therapy are closely related to survival.
