[Operative treatment and remote results in patients with bronchoalveolar lung cancer].
Bronchoalveolar pulmonary carcinoma (BAC) is a type of adenocarcinoma with an increasing frequency. Because BAC rarely metastasize outside the thorax, the postoperative results are good.


METHODS
We present 28 patients with BAC, operated in the clinic for a period of 7 years--12 patients with an infiltrative form of BAC, 16 patients with nodular form


RESULTS
12 patients underwent lobectomy, 15 patients--pneumonectomy, and 1 patient--bilobectomy. The 5-years-survival rate is 50%.


CONCLUSIONS
We found a better 5-years survival rate for the patients with BAC in comparison with the other histological types of non-small cell pulmonary carcinoma
