  • Title: [Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for a 89-year-old patient with primary lung cancer--report of a case].
    Author: Kamiyoshihara M, Hirai T, Kawashima O, Morishita Y.
    Journal: Nihon Kyobu Geka Gakkai Zasshi; 1997 Apr; 45(4):628-31. PubMed ID: 9155138.
    Abstract:
    A 89-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of a relatively defined shadow of the right peripheral lung in chest roentgenograms. Although this case couldn't be diagnosed with transbronchial lung biopsy, adenocarcinoma of the lung (c-T1N0M0) was suspected because of radiological findings. We planned video-assisted pulmonary partial resection of the S6 in consideration of age and general status. Her postoperative courses was uneventful with no complications. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is one of the treatments for elderly patients with peripheral early stage lung cancer.
