Superior Sulcus Tumors • Evaluated 116 patients • Eligible 101 patients • Completed Induction Rx 93% • Thoractomy 81% • 1 operative mortality SWOG 9416, JTCVS 2001; 121: 472
Superior Sulcus Tumors SWOG 9416, JTCVS 2001; 121: 472
Requirement for Cure Accurate Staging Localized Disease Complete Resection
Surgical Approaches for Superior Sulcus Tumor • Posterolateral (Shaw - Paulson) • Anterior cervicothoracic (Dartevelle) • Hemi-clamshell (Burt) • Anteroposterior “hook” (Niwa) • VATS - Posterior
L. D.Squamous Cell Ca T3 N0
Initial thoracotomy determines resectability Anterior rib resection facilitates posterior rib detachment Posterolateral Approach
Dissection, resection of involved S.C. artery Dissection, neurolysis, resection of involved T1C8 nerve roots Posterolateral Approach Excellent exposure for final stage of chest wall excision
Dissection of: Supraclavicular nodes S.C. artery Brachial plexus Scalene muscles Phrenic nerve Determine resectability prior to morbidity of major resection Preliminary Supraclavicular Exploration
Anterior Cervicothoracic Approach Excellent Exposure for Anterior Lesions Incision anterior sternomastoid inferior to clavicle into D.P. groove Clavicular resection exposes throacic inlet
Hemi-Clamshell Approach Excellent Exposure for Anterior Lesions Initial anterolateral thoracotomy Extension after resectability confirmed
