  • Title: [Bronchopleural fistula after pneumonectomy following induction therapy for cT4N0M0 squamous cell lung cancer].
    Author: Urabe N, Kageyama Y, Watanabe K.
    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 2000 May; 53(5):417-9. PubMed ID: 10808294.
    Abstract:
    A 69-year-old man developed after thoracotomy for lung cancer. He had centrally located cT4N0M0 squamous cell lung cancer that was downstaged to cTxN0M0 by induction chemoradiotherapy with grade 3 hematologic toxicity. Two months after the finish of chemotherapy, right pneumonectomy with concomitant resection of the superior vena cava was performed. Three weeks later, he developed with a bronchopleural fistula and died of ARDS. This demonstrates increased risk of surgery following induction chemoradiotherapy.
