Chemotherapy of the elderly patients with III B/IV stage non-small cell lung cancer till remains controversial. We retrospectively reviewed the recent literatures, and conclude that single-agent chemotherapy should be the standard therapy of the elderly patients with IIIB/IV stage non-small cell lung cancer.
