Lung Resection in an Elderly Patient with Limited Pulmonary Function; Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Analytical Medicine - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Anatomical resection (lobectomy) is the best surgical choice for lung cancer.1 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a common etiological factor for these cancers. Surgical resection is usually avoided in lung cancer patients at an advanced age because of respiratory insufficiency due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and resections that are more limited than lobectomy are recommended especially when the FEV1 value is below 1 L. We discuss the postoperative results of a lung cancer patient who underwent lobectomy despite being of advanced age and having an FEV1 value below 1 L.
