TY - JOUR AU - Jungraithmayr, Wolfgang PY - 2018 TI - Lung cancer surgery in octogenarians revisited—risk factors and survival in a long lifespan population JF - Journal of Thoracic Disease; Vol 10, No 12 (December 30, 2018): Journal of Thoracic Disease Y2 - 2018 KW - N2 - 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.
