[Surgical treatment of bronchiolo-alveolar cancer].
Bronchioloalveolar cancer (BAC) belongs to a high- grade differentiated lung adenocarcinoma, localizes in peripheral parts of the lung and demonstrates an intraalveolar growth. 21 patients with BAC has been operated during the period of 1968-2008yy. It comprised 0,5% of the whole amount of patients operated on lung cancer. Diagnostics of BAC, especially its pneumonia-like form, is considered to be challenging and often belated. Though it was retrospectively proven, that BAC is characterized by a slow growth and rare involvement of lymph nodes. Lobectomy is considered to be a method of choice for the surgical treatment. Long-term treatment results are somewhat better then of other forms of non-small cell carcinoma of lung: of 21 radically operated patients, 11 are alive.
