Clinical Study of a New Treatment Model for Elderly Lung Cancer Patients

This project consists of six interconnected research components around the whole-cycle management of elderly patients with lung cancer:

1. Construction of multicenter prospective cohort and clinical registry database for elderly lung cancer The investigators will launch a prospective multicenter cohort study covering no less than 30 clinical centers and enrolling over 2000 elderly lung cancer patients to build a full-process clinical database. Core recorded indicators include comprehensive geriatric assessment, postoperative complications, overall survival, treatment-related adverse events and disease-free survival after recurrence. 2. Development and external validation of prognostic risk stratification and surgical safety early-warning system Based on existing geriatric disease data, the investigators integrate multi-dimensional data including comprehensive geriatric status, comorbidities, imaging, pathology and molecular biomarkers to construct and iteratively optimize predictive models for surgical safety and long-term prognosis. The established risk stratification and early-warning system will be further validated using prospective multicenter cohort data. 3. Establishment and validation of optimized surgical strategy for elderly lung cancer By prospective multicenter clinical trial design, the investigators compare long-term survival outcomes among radical resection, precision limited resection and palliative resection guided by preoperative risk stratification system, so as to formulate evidence-based optimized surgical selection framework for elderly early-stage lung cancer patients. 4. Development and validation of standardized perioperative comprehensive treatment strategy Relying on previous perioperative research data, multidisciplinary team is organized to establish adaptive perioperative comprehensive treatment guided by clinical characteristics, gene variation status and minimal residual tumor monitoring; meanwhile, a unified evaluation standard system for this comprehensive treatment mode will be constructed and verified. 5. Construction and validation of full-cycle collaborative management system combining traditional Chinese and western medicine The investigators explore the evolution law of clinical symptom clusters and TCM deficiency syndrome across perioperative stages of elderly lung cancer, screen evidence-based traditional Chinese medicine intervention measures for different treatment phases, and establish and verify the full-cycle collaborative treatment system integrated western routine therapy and individualized Chinese herbal intervention. 6. Development and verification of individualized postoperative adaptive rehabilitation model With physical function, psychological status and nutritional level as core evaluation indicators, multidisciplinary rehabilitation team is set up to tailor personalized rehabilitation protocols for postoperative elderly patients. Combined with remote real-time monitoring and instant intervention intelligent platform, a novel adaptive postoperative rehabilitation model is built and prospectively validated in clinical practice.
