Overview
Surgical treatment or radiation therapy is the treatment of choice for early stages of cancer.
Surgery
- Surgical staging of the mediastinum is considered standard if accurate evaluation of the nodal status is needed to determine therapy.
- Surgical treatment consists of a thoracotomy with removal of the entire lung or lobe along with regional lymph nodes and contiguous structures.
- Lobectomy is usually the procedure of choice.
- Pneumonectomy is used if the tumour involves the main bronchus, extends across a fissure or is located such that wide excision is required.
- Survival following ‘curative’ resection is approximately 30% at 5 years and 15% at 10 years.
- The best results are found in squamous cell carcinoma followed by large-cell carcinoma and the adenocarcinoma.
