Is quality of life predictive of the survival of patients with advanced nonsmall cell lung carcinoma?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Excessive risk of cutaneous melanoma as a second cancer has been associated with benign or malignant tumors of the nervous system. Cutaneous melanoma and nervous system tumors may independently aggregate in families. There are, however, no previous reports of increased likelihood of tumors of the nervous sys...
