Abstract
Elderly patients with NSCLC should not be denied pulmonary resection based on chronologic age. Their short-term risks and long-term survival are similar to younger patients. Additionally, there seems to be no increased risk in selected octogenarians. However, elderly patients had double the risk for developing major morbidity after resection if they underwent neoadjuvant therapy.
