Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on 147 patients.
Purpose: To analyze the correlation of primary tumor (PT) pathological characteristics (size, stage, type and grade) and the extent of initial surgical treatment of non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with the incidence and time to local recurrence (LR) and disease-free survival (DFS), as well as to determine in what way these parameters and LR localizations affect the possibility for surgical retreatment.
Methods: The research was conducted on 114 patients with NSCLC and LR that had initial surgery in two reference institutes in Serbia from January 2002 to December 2010. PT size and disease stage were defined according to the revised 2004 WHO classification.
