Video Summary
In this presentation, Chelsea Furtzahadzada discusses the impact of sex on non-small-cell lung cancer survival in Canada. Lung cancer is a prevalent and deadly disease, and non-small-cell lung cancer is the most common type. Previous studies have shown that females tend to have better survival rates than males, but this has not been thoroughly examined in Canadian patients. Furtzahadzada analyzed data from the GLAND Look Lung Cancer Database and found that females had significantly longer survival than males at all stages of non-small-cell lung cancer diagnosis in Alberta. Further research is needed to understand the role of sex as an independent prognostic factor in Canadian patients.
