Abstract

Recently, both in domestic and foreign literature there are more and more works devoted to the choice of the volume of resections in primary lung cancer. Some authors, comparing the results of operations after partial resections and pneumonectomies, come to the conclusion that lobectomy may be the operation of choice in primary lung cancer; others, having developed broader indications for lobectomies, resort to them quite often, not opposing them to pneumonectomies. The expediency of partial resections and the indications for them should be determined by studying the immediate and, mainly, long-term results of surgical treatment of primary lung cancer.
