Abstract:

Goal: Surgery in lung cancer is an important option in terms of providing long survival and cravability. In the Breast Disease and Breast Surgery Clinics of our hospital, 396 patients were diagnosed with lung cancer between 2004 and 2007. However, only 45 of these patients (11.3%) could be subjected to surgical treatment. Two of the patients were female, 43 male and the average age was 61 (38-74). In the pre-operative period, 28 patients (62.3%) were diagnosed with fiber optical bronchoscopy, 4 (8.8%) with rhinitis bronchoscopy, 7 (15.5%) with transistoric injection aspiration biopsy, and 6 (13.5%) with open lung biopsy. With pre-operative histopathological examination, 38 patients were diagnosed with noncellular lung cancer, one patient was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer. Six patients were diagnosed with an open lung biopsy. For the purposes of universalization, 41 patients (91) were mediastinoscoped and 5 patients (11.1%) were submitted an anterior mediastinotomy. Mediastinoscopy and mediastinal attitude (N2 +) were identified in two patients. The most frequent lobectomy was performed as a recession (62.3%). The most frequent epidermoid carcinoma was as a postoperative histopathological diagnosis. In our series, 5 patients (11.1%) experienced complications in the postoperative period, while 3 patients (6.6%) observed mortality. The patient’s postoperative monitoring period is 18 months. Patients with stage I and stage II of lung cancer have been diagnosed with this time without any problems. As a result, surgical resection is the best treatment option recommended, especially in stage I and stage II lung cancer. Methods: Bulgarians: Results:
