  • Importance: The incidence of early-stage non-small cell lung cancers among the elderly is expected to rise dramatically due to demographic trends and CT screening. However, no modern trials have compared the most commonly delivered treatments. Objective: To determine clinical characteristics and survival outcomes associated with the three most commonly utilized definitive therapies for early-stage NSCLC in the elderly population. Design, Setting, and Participants: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results?Medicare?linked database was used to determine the baseline characteristics and outcomes of 9,093 patients with early-stage, node-negative NSCLC who underwent definitive treatment with lobectomy, sublobar resection, or stereotactic ablative radiation between 2003 and 2009. Main Outcomes and Measures: Overall survival and lung-cancer specific survival were compared using Medicare claims through December 2012. Both proportional hazards regression and propensity score matching (PSM) were used to adjust outcomes for key patient, tumor, and practice environment factors. Results: The median age was 75 years, and treatment distribution was as follows: Lobectomy (79.4%), sublobar resection (16.5%), and SABR (4.2%). Unadjusted 90-day mortality was highest for lobectomy (4.0%) followed by sublobar resection (3.7%, P=0.79) and SABR (1.3%, P=0.008). At three years, unadjusted mortality was lowest for lobectomy (25.0%), followed by sublobar resection (35.3%, P<0.001) and SABR (45.1%, P<0.001). Proportional hazards regression demonstrated that sublobar resection was associated with worse overall survival (Adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.32; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.20?1.44) and lung-cancer specific survival (HR 1.50; 95%CI 1.29?1.75) compared to lobectomy. PSM analysis reiterated these findings. In proportional hazards regression, SABR was associated with better overall survival than lobectomy in the first 6 months after diagnosis (HR 0.45; 95%CI 0.27?0.75), but worse survival thereafter (HR 1.66; 95%CI 1.39?1.99). PSM analysis of well-matched SABR and lobectomy cohorts demonstrated similar overall survival in the two groups (HR 1.01; 95%CI 0.74?1.38). Conclusions: Lobectomy was associated with better outcomes than sublobar resection in elderly patients with early-stage NSCLC. Propensity-score matching suggests that SABR may be a good option among patients with very advanced age and multiple comorbidities.
