New method for predicting lung cancer survival
www.chinaview.cn 2007-09-03 19:21:50

BEIJING, Sept. 3 (Xinhuanet) -- A thorough review of a decades-old
method used to predict lung cancer survival means thousands more patients
each year could be offered surgery or more aggressive therapy -- such as
chemotherapy -- under a new system that classifies many tumors as more
treatable.



It will lead, however, to "stage shift" and make future results look a bit
better than they really are.......
