[Surgical analysis for lung cancer with scalene node metastasis].
In this study, we evaluated 15 surgically treated cases of lung cancer with scalene node metastasis. Eleven males and 4 females with ages ranging from 41 years to 78 years (average 59.1 years) were examined. Seven cases was in the right upper lobe, 3 in the left upper lobe, 2 in the right lower lobe, 2 in the left lower lobe, 1 in the middle lobe. Adenocarcinomas were found in 9 cases squamous cell carcinomas were in 4 cases and large cell carcinomas were in 2 cases. Two cases was in T 1, 7 in T 2, 2 in T 3, 4 in T 4. In all cases, lobectomy was performed. Five year survival rate was 14.3% as determined by the Kaplan-Meier method. Average survival period was 26.6 months.
