Pdf Summary

This research study aimed to determine the best cut-off point for the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) in a Mexican cohort with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The 6MWT is a submaximal evaluation used to assess a patient's physical activity capacity. The study analyzed data from a retrospective cohort of NSCLC patients from 2016 to 2019. A Receiver Operative Characteristics (ROC) curve was used to determine the cut-off point with the best sensitivity and specificity to predict overall survival (OS). The analysis included factors such as BMI and meters walked. The study found that a higher BMI and walking more than 402 meters were both significant factors in improving prognostic outcomes for NSCLC patients. However, further investigation is needed to confirm these findings. The results of this study could have implications for healthcare professionals in determining the status and treatment of NSCLC patients.
