The world's population is rapidly ageing, and the age of patients with lung cancer will increase as well. The prognostic nutritional index, controlling nutritional status and the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) are useful parameters for evaluating immune-nutritional status. We aimed to perform a multicentre retrospective study to investigate the correlations of these immune-nutritional parameters with postoperative comorbidities or surgical outcomes of elderly patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
