Summary

Lung cancer is the leading cause of death in men and the second in women with a 5 year survival in Europe of less than 15%. One of the methods most used for its treatment is pulmonary resection. The objective of this study is to analyze the clinical profile presented to patients after pulmonary resection.

Detailed description

One of the most widely used methods for the treatment of lung cancer is pulmonary resection. The morbidity and mortality of pulmonary resection surgery is conditioned by both the type of intervention and the patient's condition. Functional deterioration is a risk associated with hospitalization in the elderly, with a high prevalence (35-70%) and serious consequences, since in the majority it can lead to the appearance of complications not related to the reason for admission or the specific treatment. It is very important to evaluate the clinical profile of patients after pulmonary resection in order to stablish a more specific repercussion.
