[TREATMENT OF NON-SMALL CELL CARCINOMA OF LUNG IN SENILE PATIENTS]

Area of Science:

• Thoracic surgery
• Surgical oncology
• Geriatric medicine

Context:

• Comparative analysis of surgical treatments for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in elderly versus younger patients.
• 64 patients were included in the study.
• Focus on optimizing surgical outcomes for senile age patients undergoing lung cancer surgery.

Purpose:

• To compare the efficacy of different surgical approaches for non-small cell lung cancer in elderly patients.
• To determine the optimal surgical strategy for lung cancer in senile patients.
• To reduce local recurrence rates in lung cancer surgery.

Summary:

• Partial lung resections (lobectomies and segmentectomies) are recommended for non-small cell lung cancer.
• Avoid pneumonectomy and typical lung resections due to high local recurrence rates.
• Preoperative assessment of comorbidities and vascular pathology is crucial for surgical planning.

Impact:

• Improved surgical outcomes for elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
• Reduced rates of local recurrence after lung cancer surgery.
• Enhanced patient selection and perioperative management for thoracic oncology procedures.
