Abstract
Overall survival (OS) for medically inoperable patients with localized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is poorer than for patients undergoing surgery. A possible explanation is contribution of comorbidities to the mortality. Klement et al. demonstrated that comorbidity did not predict the risk of early death for patients with localized NSCLC treated with SBRT. However, it was suggested that a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) could improve OS.
