[Study of recurrence and metastasis after radical resection of carcinoma of the lung].

OBJECTIVE
To study the characteristics of recurrence and metastasis following radical resection of carcinoma of the lung.


METHODS
A total of 1,229 cases of radically resected lung cancer was statistically analyzed using STATA software. The survival rate was estimated using life table method. Comparisons of survival in each group were made according to the log rank test. The differences in rate between groups was assessed by chi 2 test.


RESULTS
Recurrence rate was found higher in squamous-cell carcinoma than in adenocarcinoma. It was also higher in sleeve resection and partial resection than in other resection modes (P < 0.05). The rate of lymph node metastasis was higher in adenocarcinomas than in squamous-cell carcinoma (P < 0.05). Lung, bone, brain, liver, subcutis, and adrenal glands were the common resorts of metastasis, in decreasing order of frequency. Metastatic rate was the lowest in squamous-cell carcinoma. Active therapy can still improve the survival even when recurrence and metastasis occurred.


CONCLUSION
It is recommended to avoid partial resection for the invaded adjacent lobe whenever patient's condition can stand multilobectomy. It is necessary to assure resection margin length when sleeve resection is performed in order to reduce recurrence. Active therapy can improve survival of patients with recurrence and metastasis.
