从1933年Graham’s第一次成功地作肺切除术治疗肺癌以来,肺癌外科切除始终是主要的根治性措施。由于重视了手术病人的选择和降低了手术死亡率,使外科疗效稳步提高。近年来在肺癌患者的术前选择中提出高龄是切除疗法的一个禁忌症,从而出现手术年龄提前的倾向。针对这一问题本文作者回顾性研究了81例70岁以上组织学证明的肺癌患者。 Since Graham’s first successfully performed lung resection for lung cancer in 1933, surgical resection of lung cancer has been the main radical measure. Due to the importance attached to the selection of surgical patients and the reduction of operative mortality, the surgical efficacy has steadily increased. In recent years, the issue of advanced age in the selection of patients with lung cancer is a contraindication to resection therapy, and there is a tendency to advance the age of surgery. In response to this problem, the authors retrospectively studied 81 patients with histologically proven lung cancer over the age of 70 years.
