title: [Long-term survival after pulmonary resection in bronchogenic carcinoma (author's transl)].
abstract: 25 patients with bronchogenic carcinoma, who had undergone pulmonary resection between 1950 and 1964, were re-examined after a survival time of between 15 and 29 years. There was no relation between the long survival time and the duration of preoperative symptoms, the smoking habits prior to the operation or the localization of the tumour. The histological classification revealed that 14 patients had suffered from squamous cell carcinoma and 11 from large cell carcinoma. There was no case of adenocarcinoma nor of small cell carcinoma. In 7 patients tumour cells were demonstrable in the resected lymph nodes and in at least 2 cases the edge of the resected tissue was not tumour-free. In one case the blood vessels were invaded by tumour cells.
