1998-2002 non-small cell carcinoma cases from national cancer
programs by using the National Cancer Data Base (Figure 9,
Table 10). Eisenhower Medical Center Stage I NSCLC survival
average was comparable to the national average. Observed
survival statistics for Eisenhower Stage II and Stage III lung
cancer patients trended lower when compared to the national
average. Eisenhower Medical Center Stage IV NSCLC patients
five year survival of 3.4 percent tracked slightly higher than the
national average 5 year survival rate pf 2.3 percent.
Upon review of this data, the Eisenhower cancer committee
determined the overall slightly lower trend in survival stastistics
of Eisenhower Medical Center when compared to the average
of 1,397 hospitals nationwide was explained by the advanced
age of our patients. Eisenhower Medical Center had a
significantly higher percentage of lung
cancer patients that were 70 years or
older than the national average
(Figure 11).
Cancer Committee also reviewed the
stage at diagnosis of NSCLC cases
diagnosed 2000 to 2010 as compared
to the national average. Noteworthy
findings include a higher percentage
of patients diagnosed with early Stage
I non-small cell lung cancer than the
national average, 27 percent versus
25 percent respectively (Figure 12).
