Overview
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. Common surgical procedures for the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung include pulmonary lobectomy, pneumonectomy, lung resection with lobectomy, lung resection with pneumonectomy with or without lymph node dissection. The preferred surgical procedure is thoracotomy with removal of the entire lung or lobe (lobectomy) along with regional lymph nodes and contiguous structures. Common complications of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung surgery include atelectasis, nosocomial pneumonia, prolonged mechanical ventilation, respiratory failure, bronchospasm, pulmonary embolism.
Surgery
- Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for squamous cell carcinoma of the lung[1]
- Common surgical procedures for the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, include:
- Pulmonary lobectomy
- Pneumonectomy
- Lung resection with lobectomy
- Lung resection with pneumonectomy with or without lymph node dissection
- The feasibility of surgery depends on the stage of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung at diagnosis
- Surgical intervention is not recommended for the management of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the lung
Indications
Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung is usually reserved for patients with the following characteristics:[2]
- Pulmonary function testing
- Exercise testing
- Successful cutoff of 22 m on the stair climbing test
- Fitness for surgery
- Evaluation of risk factors, such as:
- Age
- General health status (obesity, Karnofsky scale >70)
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Asthma
- Smoking
- Other conditions: pulmonary hypertension, heart failure, and metabolic factors
Contraindications
Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung surgery is usually contraindicated in patients with the following characteristics:
- Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung extension past the diaphragm
- Extrathoracic metastases
- Metastases to supraclavicular lymph nodes
- Contralateral mediastinal node metastases
- Involvement of contralateral hemithorax
- Invasion to structures of the mediastinum
- Involvement of the main pulmonary artery
- No fitness for surgery
- Hypercapnia (arterial PCO2 greater than 45 mmHg)
- Inadequate exercise testing results (22 m on the stair climbing test)
- Presence of oncological emergency, such as: superior vena cava syndrome, malignant pleural effusion, cardiac tamponade, vocal cord or phrenic nerve paralysis
Complications
Common complications of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung surgery, include:[1]
- Atelectasis
- Infections
