[Management of short-term complications after pneumonectomy for pulmonary tuberculosis].

Objective: To explore the diagnosis and management of short-term complications after pneumonectomy for pulmonary tuberculosis.

Methods: The clinical data and management of short-term complications in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis after pneumonectomy were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed.

Results: From September 2000 to September 2010, 206 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis underwent pneumonectomy, of whom 26 experienced complications shortly after the surgery.

[Clinical analysis of treating 174 cases with pulmonary tuberculosis by pneumonectomy].

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and indication of pneumonectomy in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.

Methods: From January 1992 to the end of 2008, 174 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis underwent pneumonectomy. According to the classification of pulmonary tuberculosis, there were tuberculous destroyed lungs (n = 106), chronic fibro-cavernous pulmonary tuberculosis (n = 27), cavernous pulmonary tuberculosis with aspergilloma (n = 5), tuberculous tracheobronchial stenosis (n = 16), pulmonary tuberculosis with encapsulated empyema (n = 5), tuberculous empyema with broncho pleural fistula (n = 4) and massive hemoptysis (n = 11).

[Preoperative chemotherapy for long-term results of small cell lung cancer].

Objective: To reveal the pre-operative chemotherapy for long-term of small cell lung cancer.

Methods: From January 1994 to January 2005, 263 patients with small cell lung cancer underwent combined therapy. The comparison of long-term survival rates was made between pre-operative chemotherapy group (n = 111) (group A) and post-operative chemotherapy (n = 96) (group B).

[Long-term results of surgical plus chemotherapy for stage I lung adenocarcinoma].

Objective: Observe the effect of operation plus post-operative chemotherapy for long-term results of stage I lung adenocarcinoma.

Methods: From January 1994 to January 2005, 427 patients with stage I lung adenocarcinoma underwent surgical resection therapy. The comparison of long-term survival rates was made between post-chemotherapy and surgical resection alone.

[Impact of TNM staging and treatment mode on the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer].

Objective: To study the impact of TNM staging and combined treatment mode on the survival of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.

Methods: From January 1997 to December 2002, 987 NSCLC patients were surgically treated in this hospital. Of those, 574 received combined modality therapy (surgery + chemotherapy/radiotherapy), while 413 underwent operation alone.
