“…However, none of these data have ever been validated for elderly patients. We previously showed, thanks to a nation-wide case-control study, that postoperative morbidity of pulmonary resection for NSCLC was increased in patients ≥75 who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy in comparison with younger patients [4]. In our opinion, surgical resection may be proposed with less risk as first-line treatment in elderly patients with resectable NSCLC, including resectable N2 disease.…”

“…They did not present an increased risk of postoperative morbidity, in terms of incidence or severity, after pulmonary resection for early staged NSCLC [3]. However, elderly patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy presented postoperative complications that were more frequent and more severe than younger patients [4]. These results could suggest that surgical treatment could be proposed as first-line treatment with less risk in elderly patients with resectable NSCLC.…”
Lymph node involvement in surgically treated NSCLC was more significant in elderly patients ≥ 70 than in younger patients presenting comparable clinical and histopathological characteristics, and undergoing a similar lymphadenectomy.

“…Tout une série de travaux virent notamment le jour avec certains en particulier sur la chirurgie des « personnes âgées » [22] , [23] , [24] . Traitons-nous cette tranche croissante de la population de la même manière ?…”

“…Il n'existe pour l'instant que très peu de données dans la littérature concernant ces traitements chez le sujet âgé. Une étude s'appuyant à nouveau sur la base de données Epithor ® s'est intéressée aux conséquences postopératoires de la chimiothérapie d'induction chez les sujets de plus de 75 ans, les patients de cette tranche d'âge étant habituellement exclus des essais [73]. Cette étude cas-témoins a comparé 81 patients de 75 ans et plus à 81 témoins tirés au sort présentant les mêmes caractéristiques cliniques et histopathologiques.…”

“…Cette étude cas-témoins a comparé 81 patients de 75 ans et plus à 81 témoins tirés au sort présentant les mêmes caractéristiques cliniques et histopathologiques. Ce travail a mis en évidence que les complications postopératoires après résection pulmonaire chez les sujets âgés de 75 ans et plus ayant reçu une chimiothérapie néoadjuvante étaient plus nombreuses (p = 0,04) et plus sévères (p = 0,03) que chez les sujets de moins de 75 ans [73].…”
