[Results of surgical treatment for bronchogenic-carcinoma with positive findings in mediastinoscopy (author's transl)].
We are reporting on the survival rate of a consecutive series of 182 patients with bronchogenic carcinoma in relation to mediastinoscopic findings and following treatment. 42 patients of this group underwent "radical" resection; only 2 patients of 11 with positive mediastinoscopy survived more than 1 year. If mediastinoscopy was negative, 26 of a whole group of 59 patients survived more than 1 year after resection. Many more different aspects are reported: the bad results of lung resection for bronchogenic carcinoma and positive mediastinoscopy allow only in special cases a surgical procedure.
