HYPOTHESIS • To test the Validity of New T staging system
Patients and Methods • Study Period : January 1995 - December 2007 • Gender : 597 male, 52 female • Mean Age : 56.9 (17 to 84) years • Mean follow-up : 19 months
Preoperatif Work-up • Thorax CT • Bronchoscopy • Cranial CT/MRI • Whole body bone scintigraphy • PET-CT (After 2003) • Abdominal CT/USG • Mediastinoscopy • ‘Extended’ Mediastinoscopy/Mediastinotomy
SURGICAL ve PATHOLOGİC PROCEDURES • Anterior / lateral torakotomi • Lobectomy/Bilobectomy/Pneumonectomy • Mediastinal lymph node dissection • Pathologic evaluation: Hematoxylin-Eosin
Surgical Treatment and Follow-up • Lobectomy : 104(9 ‘sleeve’ )(75.4%) • Pnömonectomy : 22 (23.5%) • Bilobectomy : 10 (7.3%) • Wedge resection : 2 (1.5%) • TOTAL :138 patients were analyzed according to new system • Follow-up : 21 months (mean) • Survival-Analysis: Kaplan-Meier / Log-rank test
Overall Survival Text
Survival According to T Factor T1 T2 T3 T4 T2
Survival of T2a and T2b Tumors T2a T2b p=0.48
T2 T2 Survival of ‘New’ and ‘Old’ T3 New T3 Old T3 p=0.61
Results • The prognosis of the patients with lung cancer greater than 7 cm seemed to be similar to those with T3 tumors. • However, The discrimination of proposed T2a and T2b was not confirmed in our series
