Abstract:At present, there is no unified standards of treatment in elderly advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but to elderly patients who scores of KPS is higher, radiotherapy or chemotherapy alone has gradually become the main treatment measures. The concurrent chemoradiotherapy can benefit to part of the elderly patients, and it is worth further clinical research. Targeted therapy has exactly effect, and the adverse effect is mild, which provides a new treatment model for elderly advanced NSCLC patients. However, the hospital costs are relatively high, which can not be accepted by ordinary family. So targeted drugs and the model of combination treatment can not be applied extensively.
