  • Title: [Characteristics of left lung resection for advanced cancer].
    Author: Kolesnikov IS, Lytkin MI, Shalaev SA.
    Journal: Vopr Onkol; 1984; 30(9):43-6. PubMed ID: 6495692.
    Abstract:
    Due to the difficulties involved in establishing an early diagnosis, advanced cases make up about 70% of lung cancer patients admitted to specialized surgical wards. According to more than 30 year-old experience gained at the Academy's Hospital Surgical Clinic and evaluation of the end results of extensive and combined resection of the lung for the treatment of cancer, over 26% of cases operated on at the advanced stages of the disease survive for more than 5 years. Special surgical procedures should be carried out in such cases.
