“…A retrospective analysis of cisplatin-based chemotherapy in NSCLC patients revealed a significant increase in death rates within 30 days of starting chemotherapy with increasing age (0.5, 3.3, 3.2, 7.1 and 12.5% for ≤ 54, 55 -59, 60 -64, 65 -69 and ≥ 70 years; p = 0.0001) [91]. However, the frequency of renal toxicity after cisplatin administration to elderly patients has been studied by several authors and, with the exception of one trial [92], the studies demonstrated an acceptable rate of renal function deterioration, without a significant increase in age-related incidence [93][94][95].…”
