Post-Operative Radiation
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
After a patient has surgery for non-small cell lung cancer, post-operative radiotherapy may be recommended for certain patients who may be at higher risk for recurrence. This calculator will estimate the additional benefit from radiotherapy, based on specific risk factors for a given patient.
Enter the patient details below to calculate the estimated survival based on different treatment options.
This web calculator is based on a Cox proportional hazards survival model built from a series of non-small cell lung cancer patients from the SEER 17 database.
