    Abstract:
    To assess the value of surgical treatment followed by adjuvant chemotherapy for localized small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), the results of treatment in 86 SCLC patients since 1990 were reviewed. Of 86 patients, 19 patients received pneumonectomy, 53 lobectomy, 6 wedge resection and 8 segmental resection. Postoperative pathologic staging revealed 24 in stage I, 36 in stage II, and 26 in stage III. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy was given in 78 patients. Until the latest follow-up, 28 patients remained alive and 58 patients died. The 5-year survival rate of the 86 patients was 37%. The survival of patients in stage I was better than that of patients in stage II (P = 0.018) and stage III (P = 0.021), but the survival of patients in stage II was not significantly different from that of patients in stage III (P = 0.234). In summary, surgical treatment followed by chemotherapy improves significantly the survival of patients with localized SCLC. TNM staging is of prognostic importance.
