Abstract
We describe the case of a 80-year-old patient with lung microcytoma and comorbidity (diabetes, COPD and hypertensive cardiomiopaty). To manage the complexity of the elderly patient with comorbidity, he was evaluated by a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA). Radiotherapy and chemotherapy were excluded because of the low Performance Status of the patient. A treatment with octerotide LAR was administered, allowing a good clinical benefit.
