The purpose of this study was to investigate the valve of surgical treatment for lung cancer in the octogenarian. Thirty-three patients 80 years of age or older (mean age, 82.4; range, 80 to 92 years; 25 men, 8 women) underwent surgical resection in our units between 1974 and 1991. The operative mortality rate was 3%, and the 5-year survival rate was 32%. The relative 5-year survival rate (survival rate of our subjects/that of matched population) was 61%. The mortality and long-term survival rates were similar to those in younger patients. In this study, long-term survival had no significant dependence on stage of disease, histologic tumor type, or complete versus incomplete resection. It was dependent mainly on postoperative complications, in particular, cardiorespiratory complications (cardiac complications, p = 0.0005; respiratory complications, p < 0.05). These data suggest that the octogenarian who suffers from lung cancer deserves the opportunity for a cure and the long-term benefits of surgical treatment, on the condition that no postoperative major cardiorespiratory complications set in.
