研究结果表明，年龄相关的癌症护理模式发现，年轻和老年患者之间的管理存在不合理的差异。方法我们研究了2002年至2016年期间诊断为非小细胞肺癌（NSCLC）患者的年龄与临床表现、管理和死亡率之间的关系。分析调整了合并症和其他可能影响管理决策和结果的因素。结果研究人群包括40，026例NSCLC患者。诊断时的分期在不同年龄组之间没有差异
Background Results from studies addressing age-related patterns of cancer care have found evidence of unjustified differences in management between younger and older patients. Methods We examined associations between age and clinical presentation, management and mortality in patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) between 2002 and 2016. Analyses were adjusted for comorbidity and other factors that may have affected management decisions and outcomes. Results The study population encompassed 40,026 patients with NSCLC. Stage at diagnosis did not differ between age groups
