Background:
Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma is a kind of special lung cancer. The aim of this study is to analyze its characteristics, surgical intervention and prognosis.
Methods:
Fifty-eight surgically treated patients with bronchioloalveolar carcinoma from 1993 to 2000 were followed up. The clinical characteristics, surgical mode, site of recurrent disease and survival were analyzed.
Results:
Out of 58 patients, 15 were male (25.9%), and 43 were female (74.1%). Fifty-one patients performed lobectomy ( 87.9%). The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rate was 91.4%, 75.9% and 60.3% respectively. There was no remarkable difference in survival between chemotherapy group and non-chemotherapy group after surgery (P= 0.22).
Conclusions:
Lobectomy is performed commonly in patients with bronchioloalveolar carcinoma. No obvious correlation is found between postoperative chemotherapy and survival.
