Los autores muestran su experiencia tratando a 12 pacientes afectos de CB e invasión de pared (excepto los tumor de Pancoast) mediante la combinación de radioterapia seguida de cirugía con resección en bloque del parénquima y la pared afecta.

La radioterapia previa permite reducir discretamente los márgenes de seguridad en los bordes de resección sin que complique grandemente el momento quirúrgico. La reconstrucción del orificio puede hacerse en la mayoría de los casos mediante cierre directo con músculo (9 de los 10 enfermos). Como resultados se obtuvieron seis lobectomías y cuatro neumonectomías con resección de una o varios fragmentos de costilla, y dos lobectomías con disección extrapleural.

Se practicó radioterapia postoperatoria, únicamente en los casos paliativos y en ninguno se practicó quimioterapia.

Las complicaciones principales fueron de tipo infeccioso y de ventilación en el postoperatorio inmediato, mientras que en el tardío fue la aparición de metástasis óseas, cerebrales y mediastínicas.

La supervivencia oscila entre los 5 y 85 meses (S. media 18 meses) para los No y entre 15 y 19 meses para los N1-2, relacionándolos más con la existencia de adenopatías afectas que con la invasión de pared por sí misma.

Comparando esta supervivencia con la de estadios más bajos, se observa que es similar, lo que refuerza la idea de que el factor pronóstico más importante es la existencia o no de adenopatías y que a este grupo pequeño de pacientes también se puede ofrecer la posbilidad de cirugía con buenos resultados.

The authors report their experience with 12 patients with bronchogenic carcinoma with invasion of the chest wall (except Pancoast tumors) treated with a combination of radiotherapy followed by surgical resection of the parenchyma and invaded wall.

Radiotherapy prior to surgery allowed discrete reduction of the safety margins of the resected borders without complicating the surgery while reconstruction of the opening could in the majority of patients be done by direct closing with muscle (9 out of 10 patients).

The results included six lobectomies and four pneumectomies with resection of one or various fragments of the ribs and in two cases lobectomy with extrapleural dissection.

Postoperative radiotherapy was used only as a palliative procedure where required and chemotherapy was not used in any of the patients.

The main complications were infectious and immediate postoperative ventilation while delayed complications included bone, cerebral and mediastinal metastasis.

Survival ranged from 5 to 85 months (mean survival time 18 months), for No patients and from 15 to 19 months for the N1-2 patients andwas related more to existing adenopathies than with invasion of the wall as such.

If these survival times are compared with those for the lowest stage patients they are similar and support the premises that the most relevant prognostic factor is the presence or absence of adenopathies and that this small group of patients could also benefit from surgery with favourable results.
