Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Intratumoral Injection of Cisplatin for the Treatment of Isolated Mediastinal Recurrence of Lung Cancer
Published on: February 12, 2017
Abstract:
Clinical observations and autopsy findings indicate that radical surgery for lung cancer is followed in most cases by tumor progression. The first signs of the progression would more frequently develop during two years postoperatively, and these were due to metastases in distal organs (49.6%) and lymph nodes (35.2%), more rarely due to the recurrence (11.2%) or implantation metastases (4.0%). According to atuopsy findings in patients, died in late terms after radical surgery, the signs of lung cancer progression were revealed in 87.9% of cases. Among these surgical therapy rendered no effect on the frequency and localization of metastases as compared with untreated patients.
