[Surgical and combined treatment of lung cancer].
A 40-year experience of use of surgical and combined treatment of lung cancer is discussed (n=3,687; surgery--26.7%, combined treatment--73.3%). Eight protocols were used depending on stage of tumor, dose of radiation and fractionation pattern. Role and effectiveness of reconstruction surgery involved in lung cancer treatment are established and end results vis-à-vis main prognostic factors presented. Failed treatment and rationale for systemic chemotherapy as a component of combined treatment are evaluated.
