[Wedge-lobe-resection of the bronchogenic cancer (author's transl)].

It is reported about 70 patients with bronchogenic cancer during the period of 1967 to 1978, which were treated by a wedge-lobe-resection of cardiorespiratory reasons. The results of this operation method don't stand behind those of lobe- respectively pneumonectomy. The reasons are the comparatively lower operation stress and the smaller loss of lung parenchyma. In critical use the economic method of treatment presents a true alternative treatment on patients with increased risk, though it should not remove the classic resection methods.

[Angiofollicular lymph-node hyperplasia (author's transl)].

Four cases of angiofollicular lymph-node hyperplasia (Castleman-Lymphoma) are presented, accidentally discovered. They prefer localisation in mediastinum. Histological characteristics are lymph follicular hyperplasia, vascular-proliferation with endothelium hyperplasia and sometimes hyalinosis of follicular centres. The tumor is of benign significance. Its etiologic remains unknown. For clinic relations it is very important to coordinate this tumor with the differential diagnosis of mediastinal diseases.

[Disablement, invalidity and vocational rehabilitation after surgical treatment because of bronchial carcinoma (author's transl].

Results of vocational rehabilitation of 1033 patients, treated with surgery because of bronchial cancer are reported. We compared persons with and without a 5 year survival rate. Persons with a survival rate of five years showed the best results; 52% were reemployed for full time or part time on year after surgery, 30% of them at their former working place. Rehabilitation for a full time or only a part time job depends among other factors on the extent of resection. Persons with partial resection (61 %) have, compared with pneumonectomies (29%), a better chance of reemployment in a full time or part time job. Within the five postoperative years 44% of all patients got fit for work. An precipitant invalidisation is not advisable.

[Biologic factors and malignancy in mediastinal neoplasms (author's transl)].

The clinical and histological diagnosis of mediastinal tumors has to be completed with an appreciation of the biological relationship between the tumor and its host. This is most important for neurogenic and thymic tumors. Successful removal is sometimes possible even after a long time of observation. Auxillary use of radiation and cystostatics is recommended.
