[Characteristics of the metastasis of lung cancer in young patients]

Based on an investigation of micropreparations of resected lungs, findings of test thoracotomies and autopsies the authors have studied regularities of regional lung cancer metastazing in 275 patients of young age. It was shown that the intensity of regional metastazing is higher in young patients with lung cancer than in elderly patients, it grows with low-differentiated forms of tumor, nodular-peribronchial form of growth and increases in parallel with the growing size of the tumor node.
