Single-Agent Versus Combination Chemotherapy in Patients with Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and a Performance Status of 2: Prognostic Factors and Treatment Selection Based on Two Large Randomized Clinical Trials
Journal of Thoracic Oncology, 07/01/09

A prognostic model may be helpful in selecting PS 2 patients for either treatment strategy.
