[Results of operative therapy for small-cell bronchogenic carcinoma (author's transl)].
In considering the results achieved through resection of small-cell bronchogenic carcinoma, the following factors are taken into account: age, localization, staging of the tumor, lymph node involvement, type of resection and adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Furthermore, the fate of patients not operated provides a sound basis for comparison with the surgically treated group. In contrast to other authors, these results indicate that small cell carcinomas with limited dissemination have a relatively good prognosis following resection. The cooperative study undertaken in the German Democratic Republic, which included a very large patient collective, resulted in a similar conclusion.
