[Bronchial carcinoma; late results (author's transl)]

In the last 20 years 482 patients underwent surgery for bronchial carcinoma: mortality rate 5,8%. Pneumonectomy was performed in 172--, bilobectomy in 24--, lobectomiy in 254-- and segmental resection in 32 patients. 5 year survival rate is 36,0%. The late results depend on the size of the tumour, presence or absence of metastases and histology of the malignoma. In undifferentiated forms complex treatment (operation plus chemotherapy) is recommended.
