[Surgery of bronchus carcinoma (author's transl)]

The results of surgery for bronchial carcinoma can be improved by further stressing of early diagnosis, by operative methods adapted to oncological needs and assessment of techniques which increase operability as well as by adequate and general additional therapy. Based on our material of 8,423 patients of which 2,773 (i.e. 23%) have been operated the results of the operation in relation to type of operation, histology, Feinstein's classification, TNM stages and other are demonstrated.
