Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma in Women: A Retrospective Cohort Study in Indonesia.

CONCLUSION: female patients contributed to about 28% of all NSCLC cases. They were mostly non-smokers, have more adenocarcinoma histopathology and eGFR mutation. Survival tended to be longer in female than male patients. Age over 50 years and the presence of eGFR mutation were good prognostic factors to survival in female lung cancer patients.
