Modern thirty-day operative mortality for surgical resections in lung cancer.

摘要: Modern postoperative mortality rates for resectional operations lung cancer are not readily available. In recent publications estimating the risk factors surgical resection, of 10% to 15% pneumonectomy and 5% 7% lobectomy frequently quoted. order determine modern operative (up 30 days postoperatively), Lung Cancer Study Group (LCSG) analyzed various participating centers during years 1979 1981. A total 2,200 resections were available analysis. Of 2,220 performed, 1,058 lobectomies, 569 pneumonectomies, 143 lesser (segmental or wedge). Eighty-one deaths occurred from among (3.7%). The rate was 6.2% lobectomy, 2.9%. Lesser carried a 1.4% rate, statistically different lobectomy. patients under age 60 years, 1.3%, 69 4.1%, over 70 7.1%, all significantly (p less than 0.01). older 7.1% (pneumonectomy 5.9% 7.3%). It is obvious that greater care taken in selection patients. striking similarity LCSG institutions within these suggest data reasonably accurate analysis treatment cancer.
