老年人肺癌根治手术有37～45%的病例发生并发症,死亡率高达40%。老年人肺癌的手术治疗效果,在很大程度上取决于并发症的预防与治疗。作者对231例60～78岁老年人肺癌根治手术后的并发症进行了分析。肺癌分期:T_1占22.5%,T_2占58%,T_3占17.3%,T_4占2.2%。支气管肺转移(N_1)占83.7%,纵隔淋巴结转移(N_2)占16.3%, Older patients with lung cancer undergo complications in 37 to 45% of cases and the mortality rate is as high as 40%. The surgical treatment of lung cancer in the elderly depends largely on the prevention and treatment of complications. The authors analyzed the complications of 231 patients aged 60 to 78 years old who underwent radical surgery for lung cancer. Lung cancer staging: T_1 accounted for 22.5%, T_2 accounted for 58%, T_3 accounted for 17.3%, T_4 accounted for 2.2%. Broncho-lung metastasis (N_1) accounted for 83.7%, and mediastinal lymph node metastasis (N_2) accounted for 16.3%.
