摘要: We have studied the hospital mortality and long-term survival in two groups of patients: those between 50 69 years age (group 1, n = 136) older than 70 2, 43). The were similar terms distribution histological type postsurgical staging. patients treated by either lobectomy or pneumonectomy; rate was both groups: 61% 51% (not significant). Hospital for group 1 4.4% 6.9%. Mortality higher after pneumonectomy compared with lobectomy, but this not significant 6.2% versus 1.9%; 9.1% 4.7%). pulmonary resection greater elderly, (lobectomy: 1.9% [group 1] 4.7% 2]; pneumonectomy: 2]. overall at 2 4 62.3% 50.0% 72.5% 66.6% 2. suggest that operative risk elderly is prohibitive results are acceptable. Patients should be denied operation on basis alone.
