Abstract
Lung cancer ranked the highest incidence rate and mortality among people over 60 years old in China. With the increasing social population and incidence of lung cancer, the treatment of elderly lung cancer patients has become a major concern. Due to the improvement of surgical techniques and the application of enhanced recovery after surgery in thoracic surgery, more elderly patients could tolerate surgical treatment. At the same time, with the improvement of health awareness and the popularization of early diagnosis and screening, more lung cancer can be detected at the early stage. However, considering the organ dysfunction, various complications, physical weakness and other factors of elderly patients, it is important to provide individualized surgical treatment for the elderly. Therefore, based on the latest research progress worldwide, the experts in relevant fields have developed this consensus which contributes to guide the preoperative evaluation, surgical strategy, intraoperative anesthesia management, and postoperative management for elderly patients of lung cancer. .
