Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is uncommonly diagnosed in patients younger than 50 years of age. We analyzed the California Cancer Registry (CCR) to describe epidemiologic characteristics and outcomes in this patient subset and to identify factors prognostic for cause-specific survival (CSS).Methods: Patients diagnosed with NSCLC between 1/1/98 through 12/31/09 and reported to the (CCR) as of October 2011 were included. The primary outcome measure was CSS. Cox regression models were used to evaluate predictors of CSS in young patients with NSCLC, adjusted for potential confounders. Interaction analysis was performed between age groups (= 50) and specific demographic and tumor covariates.Results: We identified 132,671 lung cancer cases, of which 114,451 (86.3%) had NSCLC. Of these, 6389 (5.6%) were
