Prognostic Value of Serum Proteomic Test and Comorbidity Index in Diversified Population with Lung Cancer.

Background: The usefulness of serum proteomic test (VeriStrat) in African-Americans with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as well as the relationship between comorbidity and test performance have not been studied.

Materials And Methods: We reviewed records of patients with NSCLC in our practice for whom VeriStrat was performed to assist with the selection of therapy. We correlated survival with VeriStrat test classification, race, and comorbidity index using SAS software 9.
