Abstract

This is a retrospective report on the surgery treatment of patients suffering from primary lung cancer whose disease fulfills the criteria for surgical treatment. Surgery treatment criteria refer to the disease (TNM classification) and the physiological parameters of the patients comorbidity, spirometric values). We showed 146 patients, of which 118 male and 28 female of 53.5 average age (23-84). We divided the patients according to the disease stage and the type of surgery performed. The results of primary lung disease treatment in our institute adhere to the ones mentioned in recent world literature. Moreover, our results show a great number of patients with an advanced disease, where, besides surgery treatment, additional chemo and radiotherapy have to be applied.
