title: [Second primary cancers of the bronchi treated surgically (recurrence excluded). Results of a national survey (1987)].
abstract: A multicentre study conducted by a number of French Thoracic Surgery centres has collected a total of 88 cases of operated metachronous cancers. After defining the concept of metachronous cancer, the reporters of this survey successively analyse the frequency, histological type and clinical course of such lesions. The various types of resection and the results (postoperative course and long-term acturial survival) are also examined in detail. The good long-term survival of such metachronous cancers justifies a deliberately "aggressive" surgical approach.
