Association between hospital volume and mortality of patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer

Patients who were treated for stage IV NSCLC at highest-volume facilities had less risk of all-cause mortality compared with those who were treated at lower-volume facilities. Although the survival advantage of being treated at highest-volume facilities appeared small, the results of this study suggest differences in cancer care delivery models among various facilities, and may become more relevant in the future era of personalized treatment of stage IV NSCLC.
