術前化学放射線療法施行後にtransmanubrial approachおよび前側方切開により切除した肺尖部浸潤肺癌 (特集 局所進行肺癌の治療と成績)

: Surgical resection plays an important role as a radical treatment for lung cancers. Many lung cancer patients are found in an advanced state and it is currently in a condition that can not be operated, and the prognosis is also bad. For locally advanced lung cancer, complete resection including surrounding organs is expected by performing chemoradiotherapy before surgery. We report a case of complete surgical resection for lung cancer invading anterior apex after preoperative chemoradiotherapy via transmanubrial approach and anterolateral thoracotomy.
