We matched a cohort of NSCLC patients aged older than 80 years from the Moffitt Cancer Center database with the studies' eligibility criteria to check their qualification for at least 2 studies.
In all three studies, eligibility criteria also included an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of two or less.
When data were not reported in sufficient detail to determine a studies' eligibility, validity or outcomes, we attempted to contact the corresponding author by email for clarification.
In both studies eligibility criteria were as follows: histologically proven and radically resected primary intraperitoneal colon adenocarcinoma (Dukes' Stage B2, B3, or C) and ECOG Performance Status <2.
42– 45 Four items were scored positive in all studies: "eligibility criteria", "random allocation", "baseline comparability", "point estimates and variability", and "adequate follow-up", while "between group comparison" was scored positive in most of the studies.
Although the studies eligibility criteria included a limit on the lifetime number of sexual partners, the generalisability of the results is probably high as the population studied was enrolled globally.
