title: [Experience in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant and benign tumors of the chest].
abstract: The article analyses the follow-up of 155 patients among whom 63 had malignant tumors, 65 had benign tumors, while in 27 patients the tumor-like lesions were recognized as posttraumatic and post-inflammatory processes. Among 61 patients with sarcomatous lesions of the thoracic wall 21 had a resectable tumor. Operation was undertaken as a component of combined treatment in 21 patients. In a group of 19 patients 10 (16.4% of those admitted for treatment) have a survival period of 6 months to 18 years without signs of tumor growth. The other patients died in periods of 3 to 18 months. In a group of 65 patients with benign tumors 51 were treated by operation. Complications were not encountered. Among 27 patients with "false" tumors 5 underwent operation. The results of the study allow combined treatment of malignant tumors of the thoracic wall to be recommended for wider application.
