Effect of second primary cancer on the prognosis of patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Conclusions: The occurrence of SPC after the diagnosis of NSCLC was not a rare event, and it indicated a poorer prognosis compared with patients without it. During the follow-up, attention should be paid to the screening of SPC especially the second primary lung cancer, and a rational surveillance policy should be formed and implemented.
