Data are presented as mean ± SD. Data only included for 7 patients in EXE. Higher scores in FACT-L indicate higher QoL. In HADS higher scores indicate a great extent of anxiety and depression. FACT-L: Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung; HADS: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale; CI: confidence interval.
