The patient underwent endovascular restoration of the aneurysm and was treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics.

- Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common lung cancer, with 60% of patients diagnosed having advanced disease; this study focused on long-term survival factors in those with unresectable NSCLC.
- A total of 1,156 patients diagnosed with advanced NSCLC (stage IIIB or IV) were analyzed, revealing a mean age of 62 and that males were more prevalent; adenocarcinoma was the most common type, especially among women.
- Significant survival factors identified included weight loss, histological type, treatment combinations, and the benefit of radio lung treatment, while certain distant metastases and the use of a third drug showed no positive impact on survival outcomes.
