[Bronchial cancer associated with upper respiratory and digestive tract cancers].
The authors report a series of 63 cases, all operated, of bronchial cancer associated with upper airway cancer. The laryngeal portion of the upper airways was the site of cancer in 50% of cases. The two cancers occurred synchronously in 13% and at different times in 87% of cases. Operative mortality was 3%. Post-operative complications were dominated by bronchopulmonary congestion. Long-term survival was similar to that in series of operated bronchial cancer alone and was 70% at one year and 30% at five years. These results should lead to all isolated pulmonary lesions being considered as second primary cancers with early surgical resection being proposed.
