PG  - 360-367
AB  - Background Lung cancer is the main cause of death from cancer in the world. The 
      5-year survival is about 15%. Despite the progress of medicine the mortality rate 
      decreased only marginally. This poor prognosis is due to late diagnosis. Aim To 
      evaluate overall survival and prognostic factors in patients locally advanced or 
      metastatic non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Retrospective study 
      including 180 patients with non-small cell lung cancer hospitalized in the 
      department of Charles Nicolle Hospital of Tunis between January 2007 and December 
      2014. Results The mean age was 61.5 years with a male predominance (93.3%). The 
      median overall survival was 6 months. The poor prognostic factors were the 
      performans status (PS) and early delays of management (<30 days). The factors 
      that improve survival were surgical treatment and delays of management more than 
      45 days.  Conclusion The prognostic factors in locally advanced and metastatic 
      NSLC in our patient were: PS, management delay and treatment. These factors 
      should be considered in management of patient with advanced stage NSCLC.
