Lung cancer in the elderly is an active cancer. Due to the poor tolerance of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and the ever increasing life expectancy of patients over the age of 70 years, surgery remains the treatment of choice for these lesions. We report a series of 193 patients over the age of 70 years, the high postoperative mortality of 19% during the first month was counterbalanced by a 5-year survival of more than 20%. The criteria of operability must be rigorous and based on objective elements, especially lung function and the patient's good psychological state.
