title: [The immediate results of the surgical treatment of lung cancer in patients over 70 years of age].
abstract: The study was concerned with analysis of the data on 342 patients with lung cancer aged more than 70 years, 170 of whom had undergone surgery (peripheral cancer--117, central--53). Considering the poor functional status of the patients and their low compensatory potential, mostly organ-saving procedures (80.4%) (lobe-, bilobectomy, segmentectomy or wedge pneumonectomy) were used. Postoperative, largely bronchopulmonary and cardiovascular, complications developed in 37.6%. Postoperative lethality rate was 14.7%: after partial resection of the lung--13.5%, pneumonectomy--29.6%.
