[Surgical treatment of adenosquamous carcinoma of the lung--analysis of 223 cases].
The curative effect of 223 cases of primary pulmonary adenosquamous carcinoma. The adenosquamous carcinoma made up 10.8 percent of the total primary lung cancer in the same therapeutic period. We reexamined the specimen which had been excised in operation about 187 cases under the optic microscope and found out the amount of squamous cell is more than adenocarcinoma. The ratio is about 56.7 and 34.8 percent respectively. But the curative effect of adenosquamous carcinoma not only was worse than that of the squamous carcinoma, but also the adenocarcinoma and small cell lung cancer. So it reminds us the adenosquamous carcinoma has it's specific biologic characteristics. The operation is the most important way in curing adenosquamous carcinoma. The stage I and II should be operated early, and for stage III, we must follow the indication strictly. We select the comprehensive method in stage IIIb, such as radiotherapy or chemical therapy to raise the existent rate.
