Objectives: verify the differences of prognostic factors between two distinct groups of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, whose survival was above five years or below one year. Methods: data evaluation of 28 patients with survival above five years and 182 patients with survival below one year from the medical archive of Unifesp Oncopneumology ambulatory of clinical data, tabagic habits, weight, stage, treatment and laboratorial data (CEA and LHD) were evaluated. Outcomes: Factors that influenced survival were performance status, localized disease, weight loss, LDH, CEA and surgery. Conclusion: the evaluation of these factors allows the choice of the best treatment for each patient.
