Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The rapid aging of the population in Japan has been accompanied by an increased rate of surgery for lung cancer among elderly patients. It is thus an urgent priority to map out a treatment strategy for elderly patients with primary lung cancer. Although surgical resection remains standard treatment for early stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), it is now essential to confirm the status of...
