ABSTRACT
Objective The purpose of this study is to evaluate Surgical Procedure and Prognosis for elderly stage 1NSCLC patients above 70 years old.Methods The patients who were stage Ⅰ non-small cell lung cancer from 2003 to 2007were enrolled ( n =71 ).The median age was 74 years ( ranged from 70 to 84 years).The median follow-up of patients was 30months( ranged from 2 to 81 months).Results The percentages of postoperative complications after sublobar resection and lobectomy patients were 36.4% and 46.9%,respectively.The period in hospital were 11.36 days and 12.24 days.The 3 year survival was 85.9% for patients undergoing sublobar resection and 78.8% for lobectomy.The 5 year survival was 56.4% and 56.9% respectively.No significant difference was observed between two types of surgical procedure in the elderly.Staging is the independent factor of prognosis.Conclusion Lobectomy is still the main therapy method for elderly stage Ⅰ NSCLC patients.Especially,for those who can undergo radical resection.But sublobar resection also appears to be a viable surgical treatment for patients with cardiopulmonary physiologic impairment.
