Overview

Randomized trial evaluates postoperative survival in super-elderly patients, suggesting prognostic factors for better outcomes.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate postoperative survival and prognostic factors in super-elderly patients undergoing lung cancer surgery.
  • Multicenter retrospective study including 209 patients aged ≥ 85 years
  • Analyzed clinical variables such as pulmonary function, comorbidity, nutritional status, and sarcopenia
  • Survival evaluated using Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards models.
  • The 3-year overall survival rate was 63.6% with a median OS of 46.5 months.
  • Male sex and reduced vital capacity identified as independent predictors of poor survival.
  • In clinical stage I patients, wedge resection associated with poorer survival compared to anatomical resection.
