摘要
Between 1982 and 1988, 254 consecutive patients underwent resection for bronchogenic carcinoma with mediastinal lymph node metastases at Marie Lannelongue Hospital. Selection of cases for surgery was carried out using CT and mediastinoscopy. The surgical procedure performed were pneumonectomy (169), lobectomy (65), or bilobectomy (20) associated with resection of ipsilateral mediastinal lymph nodes. Almost all diseased nodes appeared grossly enlarged at surgery and only a few were of normal size. Postoperative mortality was 5.6%. Resection was potentially curative in 191 cases (75%) and palliative in 63 cases (25%). Almost all patients received adjuvant treatment (mainly radiotherapy). Actuarial 5-year survival was 18% for the entire group, and 23% for those who underwent curative resection. No patient with palliative resection survived 5 years. The following factors proved to be significantly associated with a better prognosis: complete resection, independent lymph node metastases, involvement of only one level, lower paratracheal involvement. On the other hand, there was no difference between pathological types (squamous cell carcinomas, adenocarcinomas, oat cell carcinomas) with regard to prognosis. We advocate an aggressive approach in selected cases of N2 bronchogenic carcinoma. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy should be tested in these specific patients with a view to the possibility of improving results.
