Previous data suggest that women may live longer with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) than men. We evaluated whether sex affected survival in the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) E1594 trial. E1594 randomized patients with advanced NSCLC to one of four platinum doublets and found that all four regimens had comparable efficacy.
