The immediate results of surgical treatment of pulmonary cancer in 217 elderly patients were studied. The dependence of the incidence of postoperative complications and lethality on the age, presence of concomitant pathology and extent of operative intervention was revealed. By means of the multifactor mathematical analysis, the decisive principles for individual prognostication of the course of postoperative period have been developed.
