[Results of surgical in undifferentiated small cell cancer of the lung].
The results of surgical treatment of 36 patients suffering from undifferentiated small-cell carcinoma of lung are discussed. During the first two years, 28 patients (78%) died as a result of tumor progression, while 8 patients (22%) survived for 3--20 years after operation. Retrospective study established that the majority of the patients had a small -- size peripheral tumor without metastases in regional lymph nodes. Histological examination revealed a considerable development of stroma having a structure of mature fibrous tissue, few mitoses and no necroses. The findings show that in some cases of early stages of undifferentiated small-cell carcinoma of the lung, surgery may assure a long survival of tumor patients.
