Lung cancer survival predicated on quality of life

For those who have lung cancer, a new piece of research suggests that quality of life is without largest predictor of survival. Not drugs, not food — but quality of life (which can be tough to quantify).

Instead of input like tumor size, development stage or other medical concerns, the actual quality of a cancer patient’s life is is utmost concern according to the research. that is very interesting and flies in the face of strictly empirical notes concerning cancer patient longevity.

What qualifies as higher “quality of life,” you may ask? Being married of having a partner in life was among the highest.
