title: [Histoligic type of the tumor as an independent factor for survival in non-small cell lung cancer].
abstract: Evaluation of individual prognostic factors in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is extremely difficult. Review of literature shows more than 150 prognostic factors for this type of lung cancer. One of them is the histological grade.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present 440 patients with NSCLC, operated in our clinic for the period of 1997-2004.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We present the 5-years survival rate and the average period of survival for the patients with non-small cell lung cancer according the stage and the histologic type of the tumor.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In I and III stage of the disease bronchiolo-alveolar cancer group shows 5-year survival while III and IV stage show 5-year survival only for squamous cell cancer.
