Kobayashi S, et al. - The usefulness of Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) for prediction of survival of patients with both lung cancer and idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs) following a lung resection procedure was assessed. Multivariate analysis of 135 patients with IIPs who underwent lung cancer resection from January 2006 through December 2015 revealed that sublobar resection, UIP pattern, and GPS of 1–2 were predictive factors associated with overall survival (OS), while GPS of 1–2 was a predictive factor associated with relapse-free survival (RFS). GPS thus suggested to be an independent prognostic factor of OS and RFS in these patients. In addition, they identified a GPS of 2 to be associated with cancer-specific survival following lung cancer resection, while a score of 1 to be associated with other disease-specific survival.
