Purpose : Surgical resection is the best option for early stage lung cancer. However, elderly patient are less likely to receive curative resection due to co-morbidities, high operative mortality and frailty. Therefore, we compared long-term survival rates between surgical resection and stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) in elderly patients.

Methods : From 2013 to 2016, 272 patients aged ≥ 75 with clinical stage I lung cancer were treated with surgical resection (n=191) or SABR (n=81). A propensity score-matched analysis was performed to minimize differences in tumor and patients characteristics. Overall and recurrence-free survivals were evaluated between two groups. Median follow-up duration was 42 months.

Results : Patients who underwent SABR were older and had worse pulmonary functions, higher comorbidity score, and smaller tumors than those of surgery group (table). There were significant differences in 5-year overall survival rates (surgery vs. SABR = 77.2% vs. 39.7%; p <0.001) and 3-year recurrence-free survival rates (surgery vs. SABR = 82.1% vs. 70.3%; p=0.013). Four mortalities in surgery group but no mortality in SABR group were observed in six months after the first treatment. Systemic dissemination was a dominant pattern of progression in both groups. In the matched cohort, overall survival benefit in surgery group was shown persistently (p=0.034); however, there was no significant difference in recurrence-free survival between two groups (p=0.439).

Conclusion : Surgical resection provided better long-term survival compared to those of SABR in elderly patients with early stage lung cancer. However, SABR could have a role to yield comparable recurrence-free survival for patients who are intolerant to surgical treatment.
