An updated report of a case of lung cancer resected using cardiopulmonary bypass

Abstract

Although surgical intervention for advanced lung cancer invading the aortic wall is challenging, we successfully carried out such radical surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass as previously reported in this journal. One patient has now been followed for more than 5 years after the operation, so that we conclude if there is no evidence of metastatic cancer in selected patients then complete resection should be attempted using circulatory support, with the hope of an occasional cure.
