Age as a prognostic indicator in carcinoma of the lung

SA Aristizabal, M Meyerson, WL Caldwell and EG Mayer

Selected elderly patients with squamous cell carcinoma localized to the lung should be considered for radical irradiation. Age should not be used as a negative prognostic indicator. This group of patients has a lower incidence of distant metastasis and local control may produce long-term survival. Radical irradiation is well tolerated, particularly as a split course, and serious complications are few.
