1Department of Thoracic Surgery , No. 252 Hospital of P. L . A , Baoding , Hebei 071000 , P. R. China.
Background:
To sum up experience of surgical treatment for patients with bronchogenic carcinoma involving the chest wall.
Methods:
Thirty-five patients with bronchogenic carcinoma invading chest wall underwent surgical treatment. Extra pleural-pulmonary resection for group one ( n = 16) and en bloc resection of chest wall-pulmonary for group two ( n = 19) were performed.
Results:
There was no operative mortality. The 3 and 5 year survival rates in group one were 38. 5 % and 18. 2 % , and 41. 2 % and 35. 7 % in group two respectively. In patients with N(0) disease , 3 and 5 year survival rates were 63. 2 %(12/ 19) and 42. 9 %(6/ 14) respectively , but there was only one patient with N(1-2) disease surviving for over 5 years.
Conclusions:
The operation types and lymph node status play important roles in the prognosis after operation. Reconstruction of chest wall defect could be successful with 2-0 Prolene suture and covering with muscles of chest and back.
