Abstract

This study was performed to evaluate whether literature of lung cancer follow advances in statistics and bioinformatics. Four medical journals with high impact factors were reviewed between January 2013 and December 2017. Among 1649 published manuscript, 514 of them were about lung cancer. Also, Medline was searched with key words combinations of e-learning AND education AND cancer AND patient for last 5 years. New statistical methods weren’t applied in the cancer researches performed by clinicians. Furthermore, unlike increasing number of successful studies using internet and computer technologies, number of the study is limited. Working with professional statisticians or collaboration to Biostatisticians will increase the quality of lung cancer papers.
