摘要: MethodsOur primary objective was to study cancer related distress in patients (pts) with newly diagnosed oncogene driver lung cancer. The secondary objective was to correlate distress with neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and body mass index loss (BMI) as a surrogate for cancer cachexia/precachexia to gauge the relationship to psychosocial distress. We retrospectively reviewed pts treated with TKI between 1/1/2008 and 2/1/2021. Sample size was based on estimates of depression in this population. A diagnosis of depression or anxiety was defined by documentation in the visit problem list, and active symptoms were based on progress note documentation. Depression and anxiety were recorded at 6 time points from diagnosis to progression on TKI, and their associations with treatment toxicities, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were assessed. Associations with serial BMI and NLR …
