The incidence of lung cancer, the most common visceral malignancy, is increasing in the elderly patient. Careful preoperative preparation and postoperative care will allow some of these patients to have surgical resections. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy offer benefits for those patients who cannot have a curative surgical resection.
