Abstract
The standard treatment for patients with advanced-stage non-small-cell lung cancer with a performance status of 2 is unclear because of the heterogeneity of this population. Although a recent trial suggests that carboplatin plus pemetrexed improves survival as compared to single-agent pemetrexed, we should be cautious when defining new standards of treatment on the basis of single small trials.Entities:
