Abstract: | Anatomical resection (lobectomy) is the best surgical choice for lung cancer.1 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a common etiological factor for these cancers. Surgical resection is usually avoided in lung cancer patients at an advanced age because of respiratory insufficiency due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and resections that are more limited than lobectomy are recommended especially when the FEV1 value is below 1 L. We discuss the postoperative results of a lung cancer patient who underwent lobectomy despite being of advanced age and having an FEV1 value below 1 L. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/11499/5898 https://doi.org/10.4328/JCAM.273 |
