Surgical treatment of non‐small‐cell lung cancer in octogenarians: a single‐centre retrospective study

Abstract: Lung resection in patients aged ≥80 years is considered high risk and contributes to the low rates of resection in this population. This review of 79 octogenarians who underwent curative surgery for non‐small‐cell lung cancer demonstrated no intraoperative mortality, 30‐day mortality of 1.3% and 12‐month mortality of 10%. In this selected cohort of octogenarians, surgery resulted in acceptable short‐ to medium‐term outcomes.

“…Since patients greater than 80 years old are seldom included in randomized clinical trials, prospective studies that are relevant to elderly NSCLC patients are lacking. However, retrospective analyses suggest that surgery should not be abandoned according to age alone in octogenarians with NSCLC ( 3 , 9 , 11 ). In addition, age is not completely representative of an individual's physiological or functional status and should not be used as the sole determining factor for clinical decision-making ( 12 , 13 ).…”
