Personal resilience, social support, and self-efficacy significantly positively influence confrontive coping modes (<i>β</i> = 0.293, <i>β</i> = 0.175, <i>β</i> = 0.121). Individual resilience has a significant positive effect on self-efficacy, with a path coefficient of <i>β</i> = 0.377. Submissive coping modes are notably enhanced by perceived stress, as indicated by a path coefficient of <i>β</i> = 0.516, while personal resilience negatively affects submissive coping styles, as indicated by a path coefficient of <i>β</i> = −0.188.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>This study highlights the importance of psychosocial factors, such as cognitive emotion regulation, self-efficacy, and social support, in enhancing family resilience in lung cancer patients.

In the United States, 98 of the 249 (39.4%) indications were granted regular approval (RA), whereas in China, only 21 of 98 (21.4%) approvals followed this regulatory pathway, with the remainder receiving accelerated approval (AA). The conversion rate from AA to RA was significantly lower in China compared to the United States (13.3% vs. 28.1%, <i>p</i> < 0.001). The proportion of AA withdrawals was significantly lower in China compared to the United States (1.0% vs. 10.4%, <i>p</i> < 0.001). Among all indications, the median RR in China was 60.9% (IQR, 35.8%–75.0%), which was significantly higher than the 45.0% (IQR, 29.0%–61.0%) in the United States (<i>p</i> < 0.001).
