title: [Results of surgical treatment of mediastinal neoplasms].
abstract: The results of radical and partial surgical treatment of 146 patients with mediastinal tumors have been assessed. All patients were operated at the Specialistic Hospital in Zakopane from the 1st January, 1967 to the 31st December, 1989. Hundred twenty one patients (82.9%) suffered from malignancy and 25 (17.1%) from non-malignant mediastinal tumors. Mortality rate was 2.0%. Late results have been expressed in terms of survival period, and they have been as follows: 44.4% of patients survived 20 years after surgery, 36.5% of patients survived 15 years, 42.9% of patients--10 years, and 56.1% of patients survived 5 years. More than 50% of operated patients resumed their previous work.
