abstract = {The outcome of patients above 80 years undergoing lung surgery has been investigated by numerous studies proving that the majority of these patients can safely undergo effective surgery (1-3). Age itself is thus no longer a contraindication for surgery (4,5). To find out which patient profits which does not, each study identifies one or more variables that represent a potential risk factor for postoperative complications or impairs long time survival compared to their younger counterparts.},
