    Author: Berdavletov S.
    Journal: Vopr Onkol; 1978; 24(2):88-92. PubMed ID: 636392.
    Abstract:
    Based on a retrospective analysis of the data on 255 patients, died after the radical surgery in the early and late period, is was found that 86.2% of the patients died due to the tumor process progression and only 13.8%--due to other causes. In 71 patients tumor recurrence was in the bronchial stump, in 50 of them this recurrence was associated with metastases in mediastinal lymph nodes. Metastases in distant organs without mediastinal lymphnodes involvement were noted in 113 patients, 36 patients showed metastatic involvement of both intrathoracic lymph nodes and distant organs. In the first 3 years since the progressing of the principal lesion 73.3% of all the examined patients died.
