Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study, patients with stage IIIB-IV non-squamous NSCLC were enrolled.
The treatment of elderly cancer patients is complicated by many factors. We sought to assess the uptake and tolerance of chemotherapy among patients 75 years and older diagnosed with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) in years 2004-2008 in Alberta, Canada, and assess their survival. All patients who met the above criteria and had an oncologist-consult were included.

The aim of this meta-analysis was to quantify such risk and to analyze contributing risk factors in HL survivors.
Methods: According to predefined selection criteria, a literature search identified 21 studies that were included in the analysis.
