Abstract:
The performance status(PS) score of lung cancer patients can effectively predict the treatment effect and guide the clinician's treatment options.Patients with PS≥2 accounted for approximately 30%~40% of the non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) patients.Due to the insufficient organ function status and the high incidence of adverse events,these patients are excluded from major clinical trials.At present,the most suitable chemotherapy regimen for this type of patients is still uncertain.Considering that immune and targeted therapies are better tolerated than chemotherapy,despite the lack of sufficient clinical data,these new treatment regimens are often used for unselected NSCLC patients with PS≥2.Here we review the results of existing clinical studies for reference.
