C L Robinson, D Holmes, W R Jamieson

    Canadian Journal of Surgery. Journal Canadien De Chirurgie
    |March 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Lobectomy and bronchoplasty surgery for lung cancer showed a 5% early mortality. Over 1 to 10 years post-resection, 44% of patients remained alive, indicating long-term survival benefits.

    Area of Science:

    • Thoracic surgery
    • Surgical oncology
    • Pulmonary medicine

    Background:

    • Lung cancer management presents significant surgical challenges.
    • Lobectomy and bronchoplasty are critical surgical techniques for lung cancer resection.
    • Evaluating long-term outcomes of these procedures is essential for patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the University of British Columbia's experience with lobectomy and bronchoplasty for lung cancer.
    • To assess the early mortality and long-term survival rates following these lung cancer surgeries.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 38 lung cancer patients undergoing lobectomy and bronchoplasty between 1959 and 1979.
    • Analysis of early mortality and survival data at 1 to 10 years post-resection.

    Main Results:

    • The majority of resections were for squamous cell carcinoma.
    • Early mortality rate was 5% (2 out of 38 patients).
    • Of 16 patients operated on before 1974, 31% survived over 5 years; 44% of all 38 patients were alive 1-10 years post-surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • Lobectomy and bronchoplasty are viable surgical options for lung cancer management.
    • The procedures demonstrated acceptable early mortality and encouraging long-term survival rates.
    • This experience highlights the potential for sustained survival following lung cancer resection.
