Chemotherapy of Lung Cancer

Wood, Alastair J.J., Ihde, Daniel C.·1992·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

POPULATION-BASED statistics on lung cancer in the United States must give pause even to hardened optimists. Carcinoma of the lung was the second most common cancer and the leading cause of death from cancer last year.1 Therapeutic results in this disease have been stagnant, with only a minimal increase in five-year survival between 1974 and 1987.2 Although a reduction in cigarette smoking began to produce an age-adjusted decrease in the incidence of disease among men in about 1988, the incidence among women is moving in the opposite direction, more than doubling between 1973 and 1988.2 Furthermore, even if all cigarette . . .

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.
