[The role of conservative resection in surgical treatment of patients with lung cancer].
The immediate and end results of 56 limited segmental resections of the lung (palliative--12 and radical--44) for cancer were studied. Postoperative mortality was 6.8% and five-year survival--50.0%. It is suggested that surgery for peripheral cancer without regional metastasis should be recommended for tumors under 2 cm in diameter in poor-risk patients. The procedure should be preferred for treatment of adenocarcinoma.
