Impact of symptomatic metastatic spinal cord compression on survival of patients with non-small cell lung cancer

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most common primary tumor site among patients with metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC). This disorder is related to neurological dysfunction and can reduce the quality of life, but the association between MSCC and death is unclear. The aim of this study was to analyse the impact of the occurrence of symptomatic MSCC on overall survival (OS) of patients with NSCLC.
