Abstract:
A 62-year-old male with two synchronous squamous-cell carcinoma was successfully treated in two stages by right upper sleeve lobectomy and left S6 sleeve segmentectomy. The patient remains well without recurrence two years after surgery. Bronchoplastic surgery is an effective approach for multicentric hilar cancers with poor pulmonary function.
