[Results of surgical treatment of bronchiogenic carcinoma and nonsurgical treatment of oat cell carcinoma (author's transl)].
Of 1732 patients, 95% were followed up. The proportion of men to women was 7:1, most patients being about 70 years old. Eighty percent of the patients smoked, 64% were considered inoperable when first seen, and 4% were found to be incurable at the time of surgery. Postoperative deaths were 8.2%; 3 bronchopleural fistulas and 17 pleural empyemas complicated recovery. Of those patients operated on without lymph node involvement, the 5-year survival rate was 45.4%, with lymph node metastasis 14.7%. Of 242 patients with oat cell carcinoma who were not operated on, 85% died within the first year after hospital discharge. Only 1.2% survived 5 years.
