[Resection of lung neoplasm in patients aged 70 years and over. Apropos of a series of 193 resections].

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.

Randomized trial of chemoimmunotherapy for resectable and non-resectable gastrointestinal cancer.

Two trials were carried out in order to compare, in two similar groups of patients, the efficacity of 5-fluorouracil (5FU) with or without BCG. The first trial comprised 159 patients with different forms of carcinoma. The differences in survival rate between the 77 patients treated with 5FU and the 82 patients who had received 5FU and BCG seem to be in favour of the combined treatment, but are not statistically significant. The second trial (20 cases treated with 5FU and 23 cases treated with 5FU and BCG) concerned patients with Dukes' Stage B and C colorectal cancer; the results of the combined treatment are clearly more favourable.
