title: [Causes of exploratory thoracotomies in lung cancer].
abstract: Exploratory thoracotomies were studied in 80 patients with inoperable lung cancer. The X-ray and computed tomography findings were analyzed retrospectively. The main causes of inoperability of lung cancer were determined. The authors consider that CT findings are of greater importance as compared with the routine X-ray examination and linear tomography for determining the lung cancer operability.
