Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients surgically treated often experienced a postoperative disability related to the surgery but did not benefit from a long-term survival advantage (postoperative death and relapse). Therefore, improvement of quality of life (QOL) for all NSCLC patients surgically treated is necessary and the assessment of factors influencing the short-term postoperative QOL is required. Therefore, a prospective study to assess the value of the psychological global well being index (PGWBI) to predict short-term postoperative QOL was conducted.
