Abstract
The updated PVP index provides a quantitative risk assessment for NSCLC patients using 8th edition TNM staging, MTVWB, and age. The index provides a simple and practical way for the care team to incorporate the independent prognostic value of both the TNM stage and MTVWB. This approach can further improve the accuracy of overall survival prognosis.
