Symptoms at presentation for treatment in patients with lung cancer: implications for the evaluation of palliative treatment
Open accessAbstract
The ten most frequently reported pretreatment symptoms on the Rotterdam Symptom Checklist, which was completed by more than 650 patients entering two MRC Lung Cancer Working Party multicentre randomised trials, included general symptoms (tiredness, lack of appetite) and psychological distress (worry, anxiety) in addition to disease-related chest symptoms (cough, shortness of breath). Although the number and severity of symptoms increased with worsening performance status, the commonest symptoms were found to be virtually the same for patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and for different grades of performance status. Women with NSCLC reported more psychological symptoms than males, but this difference was much less evident in patients with SCLC. Thus, in order to assess fully the benefit of palliative treatments in patients with lung cancer, account must be taken of all symptoms at presentation, in addition to the traditionally recognised chest symptoms.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
