Résumé
Recent studies have demonstrated that elevated BMI is associated with improved survival in patients with lung cancer. According to the authors, this "obesity paradox" could be a true benefit or a spurious relationship. In this context, data from the French KBP-2010-CPHG cohort (7,051 patients followed up for primary lung cancer diagnosed in 2010 in the respiratory medicine departments of 104 nonacademic hospitals) were analyzed.
