Analysis of survival benefit from primary tumor resection and individualized prediction of overall survival for lung cancer patients with bone metastasis: Worth it or not?

This study showed that surgical resection of the primary site strategy can prolong survival of LC patients with BM to some extent, depending on different sites of metastasis and highly selected patients. Furthermore, the web-based nomograms showed significant accuracy in predicting OS for patients with or without surgery, which may provide valuable insights for patients' counseling and individualized decision-making for clinicians.
