Résumé

Objective: The elderly is a fast-growing segment of the population and the number of oncogeriatric patients with lung cancer is expected to increase. The purpose of this study was to overview surgical habits for lung cancer in octogenarians. Methods: We used EPITHOR((R)), the French national thoracic database, created in 2002 and including more than 135000 procedures from 93 institutions. We collected prospectively data concerning 622 patients 80 years or older, and 16461 patients younger than 80 years with lung cancer from 1 January 2004 to 31 December 2008. We compared patients' characteristics, lung-cancer presentation, and surgical treatment between these two groups. Results: Patients' characteristics analysis: the distribution by gender, body mass index, and forced expiratory volume was comparable for the two groups.
