Abstract

In term Jan. 1988 and Dec. 1989 222 patients from 31 to 77 years old were surgically treated for lung cancer at The Department of The Thoracic Surgery of Medical Academy in Bydgoszcz. 102 patients (45.9%) had the first stage of disease, 31(13.9%) second and 89(40.2%) third stage of disease. 179(80.8%) patients had a resected proceeder and 43(19.2%) explorative thoracotomy. The perioperative mortality was 13(5.8%) patients. 64(36.4%) patients survived 5-years. We found a significant influence of a stage and the range of a surgical resection on the long-term survival. We found that 5-years survivals did not depend on the age and sex and place of life of the patients and histological type of cancer.
