title: [Multiple primary lung cancers. The importance of early diagnosis and survival after a new surgical excision].
abstract: In a series of 1.025 consecutive resections for bronchogenic carcinoma, 68 patients developed a second primary lung cancer identified as the first site of recurrence (median interval of 38 months). Thirty-nine patients (57%) were asymptomatic (detection by chest-X-Ray (N: 28] or sputum cytology (N: 11) and 22 had one or more symptoms. A reoperation was possible in 50% (N: 34) of all patients with an operative (30 day) mortality of 14.7% (5/34) as compared to 3.5% (26/1.025) for the first procedure. Cumulative survival following the second resection was 33% at 5 years while no inoperable patient survived longer than three years. Clinical presentation of the second carcinoma is a significant prognostic variable since no symptomatic patient survived more than two years while 30% of the asymptomatic group survived 5 years (p less than 0.021).
