Survival and Stage in Lung Cancer

Abstract

Purpose: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Although the 5-year survival rates of for non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) ranges from 20% to 70%. The present study investigates the rates of early recurrence in a total of 83 patients operated for NSCLC and presents the related findings in reference to the data available in the literature. Materials and Methods: Patients who underwent lung resection for malignancy between March 2019 and September 2021 were retrospectively examined. The patient data, including age, gender, presence of preoperative chemotherapy administration, opera-tions performed, operation dates, pathology results, postoperative staging, survival, and relapses, were documented. Results: A total of 83 patients who underwent lung resection for malignancy between March 2019 and September 2021 were examined. The patients had a median age of 62 years. Of the total number of patients four patients developed recurrence and 79 continued their follow-up without any recurrence. Of the patients who underwent lung resection, eight (9.6%) patients died within the first postoperative 2-year period. The mean survival period of these eight patients was 14.6 months (7–20 months). Conclusion: Although various parameters, such as age, gender, pathological type, and location of the tumor are examined and compared, according to the available data on the long-term survival of surgical patients, it is known that the only parameter that affects survival is the pathological stage of the patient.

Akciğer Kanserinde Sağkalım ve Evre

Abstract

Amaç: Akciğer kanseri, dünya çapında kanser ölümlerinin önde gelen nedenidir. Küçük hücreli dışı akciğer kanseri (KHDAK) için 5 yıllık sağkalım oranları %20 ile %70 arasında değişmektedir. Bu çalışmada KHDAK nedeniyle opere edilen toplam 83 hastada erken nüks oranları araştırılmakta ve literatürdeki veriler ışığın-da ilgili bulgular sunulmaktadır. Araçlar ve Yöntem: Mart 2019-Eylül 2021 tarihleri arasında malignite nedeniyle akciğer rezeksiyonu yapılan hastalar retrospek-tif olarak incelendi. Yaş, cinsiyet, ameliyat öncesi kemoterapi uygulamasının varlığı, yapılan ameliyatlar, ameliyat tarihleri, patoloji sonuçları, ameliyat sonrası evreleme, sağkalım ve nüksleri içeren hasta verileri belgelendi. Bulgular: Mart 2019 ile Eylül 2021 arasında malignite nedeniyle akciğer rezeksiyonu yapılan toplam 83 hasta incelendi. Has-taların medyan yaşı 62 idi. Toplam 4 hastada nüks gelişti ve 79'u nüks olmadan takiplerine devam etti. Akciğer rezeksiyonu yapılan hastaların sekizi (%9.6) postoperatif ilk 2 yıllık dönemde kaybedildi. Bu sekiz hastanın ortalama sağkalım süresi 14.6 ay (7-20 ay) idi. Sonuç: Yaş, cinsiyet, patolojik tip, tümörün yerleşim yeri gibi çeşitli parametreler incelenip karşılaştırılsa da cerrahi uygulanan hastaların uzun dönem sağkalımlarını etkileyen asıl parametrenin tümörün evresi olduğu bilinmektedir.
