The subjects were one hundreds patients with advanced NSCLC. The Japanese version of the M.D.Anderson Symptom Inventory etc were used. Explorative/Confirmatory factor analysis and multiple regression analysis were conducted to identify symptom clusters and modify cause and effect models.

Therefore, the research for development and an application for patients with advanced NSCLC considered be next issues.
