title: [Surgical treatment of lung cancer extending into the thoracic wall].
abstract: In the Department of Surgery of Lungs and Mediastinum, National Research Centre of Surgery, USSR AMS, 88 patients underwent operation for lung carcinoma extending into the thoracic wall (which accounted for 2.6% of all patients who were operated on for carcinoma of the lungs) from 1963 to December 1990. Surgical treatment of such patients is the method of choice. The performance of both radical and palliative operations is expedient. The survival of patients after operation is determined by the depth of invasion of the thoracic wall by lung carcinoma and the condition of intrathoracic lymph nodes.
