[Evaluation of diagnosis and treatment of various clinico-anatomical forms of lung cancer].
Among 3898 cases of primary lung cancer registered in Leningrad within 1985-1986, central cancer clearly predominated (61.9%). Central/peripheral cancer ratio was 1.6:1. The most common procedure used for treatment of central lung cancer was pneumonectomy (74.6% of cases) and lobectomy--for peripheral cancer management (85.7%). Significant differences in approach to diagnosis and surgical treatment of these pathologies were established. It seems unfeasible to increase resectability of central lung carcinoma by extending surgery. Such tumors should be diagnosed at the stage of segment involvement. However, prophylactic photo-roentgenography does not assure early detection of central lung cancer. Organization of lung cancer detection in Leningrad needs to be improved.
