    Author: Trakhtenberg AKh, Pirogov AI, Gol'bert ZV, Frank GA, Kim IK.
    Journal: Vopr Onkol; 1984; 30(1):23-33. PubMed ID: 6695524.
    Abstract:
    The study summarizes the experience gained in the treatment of 46 cases of bilateral primary multiple cancer of the lung (synchronous cancer--17 and metachronous--29). Criteria for establishing primary multiple cancer and choice of treatment procedure are suggested. Surgery for bilateral cancer was carried out in 15 cases (metachronous tumor--11; synchronous--4). Radiation treatment was given to 8 patients (synchronous tumor--4, metachronous--4) and chemotherapy--to 7 patients (synchronous tumor--2, metachronous--5). The advantages offered by active surgical intervention in management of primary multiple bilateral cancer of the lung are discussed.
