Introduction: Standard management of stage II non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is surgery, often followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. However, some patients do not undergo surgery for various reasons. We examined outcomes in this defined patient group.

In the era of EGFR mutations we evaluated the difference between early (≤6 months from diagnosis) versus late BM (>6 months), in EGFR wild type (WT) and mutant (MT) NSCLC patients with respect to radiographic patterns and overall survival (OS). A retrospective study was conducted of referred patients with non-squamous NSCLC with known EGFR mutation status treated for BM from Mar 2010-Dec 2012.

- This study aimed to assess the frequency and extent of femoral neck fracture shortening in patients under 60 years old and identify factors that may predict this shortening.
- A total of 65 patients with a median age of 51 were analyzed, revealing that 54% experienced significant shortening of 5 mm or more, particularly those with displaced fractures and those treated with a sliding hip screw plus a derotation screw.
- The findings indicate a higher-than-expected incidence of significant shortening, suggesting the need for more research on its effect on recovery and whether the choice of surgical implant influences shortening outcomes.
