title: [Optimization of indications for performance of surgical interventions in patients with lung cancer using the game theory].
abstract: The possibility of the mathematical theory of plays application for the choice of an optimal tactics in radical treatment of pulmonary cancer was studied. After the late follow-up result studying of the 506 patients treatment the expected life span was mathematically calculated depending on stage and histological structure of tumour. Similar indexes were calculated for patients, which were not operated on. The theory of plays application had promoted the postoperative mortality lowering from 5.4 to 3.2% and of postoperative complications rate from 12.5 to 9.3%.
