title: [Combined resection of the adjacent tissue and lung in advanced lung cancer].
abstract: The prognosis of lung cancer patients who underwent combined resection of adjacent tissue and the lung was examined. In lung resections with chest wall, pericardial and diaphragmatic resections where radiation was added pre- or postoperatively, the prognosis of patients with squamous cell carcinoma was favorable. In addition the possibilities of extending operative indications for lung cancer, such as Pancoast tumor, combined resection of vertebra, left atrium, pulmonary artery and aorta was discussed.
