Abstract:
A total of 107 patients were divided 2 groups: 50 patients 40-49 years of age (group I) 57 patients 60 years of age or older (group II). The results indicated that advanced age should not be a contraindication to curative pulmonary resections. The overall 2 years survival rate was 46.7% in group I and 53.3% in group II. In groups II: stage IIIa was 72.7%. Squamous cell carcinoma (40.4%) and adeno-carcinoma (36.8%) in group II were higher than in group I but larger-cell carcinoma (18%) in group I was higher than in group II. These pathological types were related to prognosis.
