[Palliative chemotherapy of non small lung cancer in Tunisia. Prospective study of the cost and impact on the quality of life].

Background: Bronchopulmonary cancer is actually the first cancer in the world. In Tunisia, recent statistics are alarmous. The most bronchopulmonary cancer in tunisian series are diagnosis at metastatic states.

[Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. A review of 3 cases].

Background: Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a rare affection, initially described in 1952. Its pathophysiology incriminate several mechanisms in relation with the organism of the patient and the bronchial colonisation by the fongic agent.

Aim: To report three cases of ABPA.

[Adjuvant chemotherapy in resected non small cell lung cancer: preliminary results about 8 cases].

Aim: Report the preliminary results of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients surgically treated for non small lung cancer.

Methods: It's a prospective study about 12 patients surgically treated between January 2005 and December 2007.8 patients had benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy.

Pulmonary metastases revealing choriocarcinoma.

Background: Uterin choriocarcinoma is a trophoblastic tumour characterised by high metastasis potential. Pleuropulmonary metastasis can reveal rarely the neoplasm.

Aim: Repport a new case.
