Abstract

Background: This study aims to investigate the effect of age on mortality and morbidity after surgery performed during early stages in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: Two hundred thirty-seven patients referred to our clinic for surgical treatment with the diagnosis of NSCLC between November 2004 and January 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients had been evaluated with respiratory function tests, a complete blood count, biochemistry, arterial blood gases and an electrocardiogram in the preoperative period. The patients over 70 years of age had also been evaluated by echocardiography. A mediastinoscopy was performed in all patients eligible for surgical treatment. A lung resection and lymphatic dissection through thoracotomy was performed on patients who had no lymph node metastasis at mediastinoscopy, or they received neoadjuvant oncological therapy. One hundred sixty-four patients (18 females, 146 males; mean age 59 years; range 30 to 84 years) who underwent a lung resection comprised our study group. Air leaks through a chest drain lasting more than 10 days, deaths within the 30-day postoperative period, and patients who were 70 years old and older were accepted as “persistent air leak”, surgical mortality, and elderly patients, respectively. One hundred thirty-nine patients below 70 years of age and 25 patients over 70 years of age were grouped and compared for morbidity and mortality rates. Results: Twenty-eight (20%) patients in group 1 and in five (20%) patients in group 2 had a history of chronic disease. A lobectomy and pneumonectomy was performed on 114 (82%) patients and on 25 (18%) patients in group 1, respectively. A lobectomy and pneumonectomy was performed on 20 (80%) and five (20%) patients of group 2, respectively. While there was one (0.7%) mortality in group 1, no mortality was observed in group 2. Morbidity was observed in 42 (30%) patients in group 1 and eight (32%) patients in group 2. The most frequent morbidities were persistent air leak, atelectasis, and arrhythmia. Conclusion: There was no significant increase in mortality and morbidity rates of patients with NSCLC who were over 70 years old. Surgery is safe and should be the treatment of choice in selected suitable patients in this age group.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, küçük hücreli dışı akciğer kanserli (KHDAK) hastalarda erken evrede yapılan cerrahi tedavi sonrası, yaşın mortalite ve morbidite üzerine etkisi araştırıldı. Çalışma planı: Kasım 2004 - Ocak 2007 tarihleri arasında KHDAK tanısı ile cerrahi tedavi amaçlı kliniğimize sevk edilen 237 hasta retrospektif olarak incelendi. Tüm hastalar ameliyat öncesi dönemde solunum fonksiyon testi, tam kan sayımı, biyokimya, arteryel kan gazı ve elektrokardiyografi ile değerlendirilmiş idi. Yetmiş yaş üstü hastalar ek olarak ekokardiyografi ile değerlendirilmiş idi. Cerrahi tedavi için uygun olduğu saptanan tüm hastalara mediastinoskopi yapılmış idi. Mediastinoskopi ile lenf nodu metastazı saptanmayan veya neoadjuvan onkolojik tedavi gören hastalara torakotomi ile akciğer rezeksiyonu ve lenfatik diseksiyon yapılmış idi. Akciğer rezeksiyonu uygulanan 164 hasta (18 kadın, 146 erkek; ort. yaş 59 yıl; dağılım 30-84 yıl) çalışma grubumuzu oluşturdu. Göğüs dreninden 10 günden fazla süren hava kaçağı “uzamış hava kaçağı”, ameliyat sonrası 30 gün içinde olan ölümler cerrahi mortalite, yetmiş yaş ve üstü hastalar yaşlı olarak kabul edildi. Yetmiş yaş altı 139 hasta ve 70 yaş ve üstü 25 hasta gruplandırıldı ve morbidite ve mortalite oranları karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Grup 1’deki 139 hastanın 28’inde (%20), grup 2’deki 25 hastanın beşinde (%20) kronik hastalık öyküsü var idi. Grup 1’deki hastaların 114’üne (%82) lobektomi, 25’ine (%18) pnömonektomi ameliyatı yapılmış idi. Grup 2’deki hastaların ise 20’sine (%80) lobektomi, beşine (%20) pnömonektomi ameliyatı yapılmış idi. Grup 1’de bir mortalite (%0.7) gözlenir iken, grup 2’de mortalite yok idi. Grup 1’de 42 (%30) hastada, grup 2’de ise sekiz hastada (%32) morbidite gözlendi. En sık görülen morbidite uzamış hava kaçağı, atelektazi ve aritmi idi. Sonuç: Yetmiş yaş üstü KHDAK’li hastalarda, mortalite ve morbide oranında belirgin bir artış saptanmadı. Bu yaş grubunda seçilmiş, uygun hastalarda cerrahi öncelikle yapılması gereken tedavidir ve güvenle yapılabilir.
