Surgical alternatives in ipsilateral recurrence of bronchogenic carcinoma

F Kulka and S Kostic
Thoracic Surgical Clinic, Postgraduate Medical University, Budapest, Hungary.

In our unit, 5847 patients had pulmonary resections for bronchogenic cancer. Among them, 30 patients suffering from ipsilateral recurrence were operated upon. Recurrence because of incomplete first resection was found most frequently. Operations on ipsilateral recurrent tumours involve a high mortality. However, secondary resection of a recurrent bronchogenic carcinoma may sometimes be a suitable step towards achieving an appreciable survival.
