[Radiation and chemoradiation therapy of patients with cancer of the lung following exploratory thoracotomy].
The results of radio- and chemoradiotherapy of 109 patients with pulmonary cancer after exploratory thoracotomy were studied. In these patients, the tumour invasion to the adjacent organs and vessels, involvement of the root of a lung and lymphatic mediastinal nodes, metastatic pleural lesion were revealed. As a result of the use of radio- and chemoradiotherapy, the tumour diminishing was documented in 48.8 and 53.2% of the cases, respectively. The adverse effects were cupped off in most patients by means of the symptomatic agents. A conclusion of the expediency to perform radio- and chemoradiotherapy in patients with pulmonary cancer after exploratory thoracotomy was made.
