The clinical features of older patients with lung cancer in comparison with their younger counterparts

ConclusionsWe should positively consider standard treatments for older patients. However, not only their shorter life expectancy but also their poor PS and multiple comorbidities that sometimes render patients unable to receive standard treatments and several chemotherapy regimens, make their prognosis poor. The standard treatments for older patients, especially in locally advanced stages, require modification.
