The incidence of lung cancer in Oman has shown a gradual but definitive increase since
2002. This study aimed to evaluate the demographic and epidemiological characteristics and survival outcomes
of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at a university hospital in Oman. Methods: This study was
conducted from January to June 2016. A retrospective analysis was performed of consecutive patients diagnosed
with NSCLC presenting to the Sultan Qaboos University Hospital (SQUH) in Muscat, Oman, between March
2000 and December 2015. Clinical features at presentation and prognostic and predictive markers were reviewed.
Kaplan-Meir estimates were used to determine relapse-free survival, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall
survival (OS).
