  • Title: [Immediate and late results of plastic operations in lung cancer].
    Author: Grigor'eva SP.
    Journal: Vopr Onkol; 1978; 24(2):79-82. PubMed ID: 636390.
    Abstract:
    The author's experience with 94 plastic operations on bronchi for lung cancer is analysed. Plastic procedures made 9% of all radical interventions. Following lobe and bilobectomy with circular resection of the main bronchus 51% of patients survived over 3 years, 32%--over 5 years, 6 patients have been followed up for 10 years. Plastic procedures on bronchi for lung cancer seem to be oncologically warranted and should be performed on definite indications. The best remote results were observed following lobe- and bilobectomy with circular resection of the main bronchus, performed for epidermoid cancer of stage II with endobronchial tumor growth. Lobectomy with wedge-shaped resection of the main bronchus not infrequently resulted in local tumor recurrence.
