title: [Surgical treatment of synchronous bilateral lung tumors].
abstract: An experience with treatment of 29 patients with bilateral malignant tumors includes primary tumors and those of metastatic origin. When large bilateral lung resections are necessary, the consecutive operations are considered to be expedient with intervals of 4-6 weeks. When the operation volume is not more than lobectomy in one side and an atypical or segmental resection in the other side, it is possible to fulfill a one-step intervention from the transsternal access. The surgical treatment for bilateral tumors should be supplemented by radio- and chemotherapy. Surgical treatment for bilateral tumors of the lungs is permissible but in the side of the maximal lesion followed by treatment of the rest of the tumor by nonsurgical methods.
