Surgical resection is the mainstay of curative treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. ⋯ Univariate analysis revealed several factors worsening prognosis: male sex, age older than 50 years, lowered preoperative Hb concentration, extended surgery, advanced stage, adenocarcinoma and large cell carcinoma, T status, N status, R status, M status and blood transfusion in postoperative period. In multivariate Cox analysis lowered preoperative Hb concentration, decreased FEV1 lower than 80% pred., extended surgery (pneumonectomy), advanced stage and adenocarcinoma were negative prognostic factors. Female sex and lack of symptoms, except coughing were positive prognostic factors.
