Methods: A retrospective study including 60 patients followed for NSCLC stage IIIB and IV, between January 2007 and December 2013.
Background: Inflammation markers have been shown to predict prognosis during cancer including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In particular, C-reactive protein (CRP) and Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) have been investigated. The aim of our work is to study the combination of these two markers in optimizing prognostication in advanced NSCLC.

Aim: To explore the relationship between ALI score and prognosis of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: we conducted a retrospective study of 41 patients with metastatic NSCLC diagnosed between January2010 and January2012.
Background: Few studies have been conduct¬ed to determine prognostic factors of second-line chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic factors for survival in patients receiving second-line treatment for advanced NSCLC.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 71 patients with metastatic NSCLC who received second-line chemotherapy from January 2006 to January 2013.
