Late onset congenital cystic adenomatous malformation associated with intra-lobar pulmonary sequestration

study, we found that more than 40% of patients were submitted to some form of anticancer treatment. Only a minority of octogenarians presented in surgical staging, and only just over a quarter of them were submitted to surgery, with acceptable outcomes. The presence of significant comorbidities was a major reason for excluding surgery. In patients with contraindications to surgery, SBRT has emerged as an attractive treatment option. Two of our patients had SBRT, without significant morbidity. Chemotherapy was also performed in about a quarter of patients. In a recent study, octogenarians with NSCLC treated with chemotherapy showed prolonged survival compared with those submitted to BSC. Our results suggest that selected octogenarians with NSCLC, regardless of age, may benefit from specific anticancer treatment. Thus, a multidisciplinary assessment is recommended. Further studies are warranted to provide an optimal treatment approach for octogenarians.
