Identified optimal candidates for pulmonary resection in octogenarians with non-small cell lung cancer: a web-based predictive model.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A survival benefit from pulmonary resection was observed in octogenarians with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Meanwhile, the identification of patients who can indeed benefit can be difficult. Therefore, we aimed to establish a web-based predictive model to identify optimal candidates for pulmonary resection.

Methods

Octogenarians with NSCLC in Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database were enrolled and split into the surgery and non-surgery groups based on whether they received pulmonary resection. Propensity-score matching (PSM) was utilized to eliminate the imbalance. Independent prognostic factors were identified. Patients in the surgery group who lived longer than the median cancer-specific survival (CSS) time of the non-surgery group we
