[Surgical treatment of primary lung cancer in women].

Among 1906 lung carcinoma cases treated in the clinic up to 1975 inclusive, there were 182 women (9.5%). The comparative study of 84 women and 927 men operated upon, proved the operability and resectability in women (46.1% +/- 3.7 and 34.1 +/- 3.5) to be lower than in men (53.8% +/- 1.2 and 46.3% +/- 1.2). Peripheral cancer was found in 28.6% +/- 3.3 of women and in 23.6% +/- 1.0 of men. The main histological form of the tumor in women was glandular carcinoma (45.2% +/- 6.3) and in men squamous cell carcinoma (62.2% +/- 1.7). The lobectomy was the most common of radical operations performed in women (58.1% +/- 6.2); in men it was the pneumectomy (65.1% +/- 1.7). In 6 of 26 women suffering from neoplasm of stage III the vast pneumectomy was carried out; in men this operation constituted 46.1% of all cases of total lung removal. The immediate results in women (complications--14.3% +/- 8.8 and mortality--2.4% +/- 1.7) are better than in men (24.1% +/- 1.4 and 9.3% +/- 1.0). The five-year follow-up showed the survival in women to be 39.1% +/- 10.6 and in men 28.3% +/- 3.0.
