Resumen

Presentamos nuestra estadística de 20 casos de cáncer de pulmón sobrevivientes más de cinco años. Estos representan el 19% de todos los casos operados que hemos podido revisar después de cinco años. Este porcentaje no representa la totalidad de los sobrevivientes, porque muchas de las encuestas enviadas han sido devueltas por varios motivos: cambio de domicilio, paradero desconocido o muerte. Esto tiene su-explicación, puesto que la mayoría de los caso eran enfermos de la Seguridad Social, de clase humilde, procedentes de diferentes regiones españolas, y muchos de ellos sin domicilio fijo.

Si estos casos no son estadísticamente valuables, si son sin embargo motivo de consideración. Con relación a la sintomatología no hemos encontrado ninguna correlación con la sobrevivencia a los cinco años. No hemos tenido preponderancia en el tipo histológico, y, a pesar de las estadísticas generales, hemos observado sobrevivencia en dos casos de cáncer oat-cells, pero son pocos casos para sacar conclusiones definitivas.

Así mismo tenemos largas sobrevivencias en casos en los cuales el cáncer ha sobrepasado los límites del pulmón, aunque no tenemos ninguna sobrevivencia en casos con invasión masiva de los ganglios mediastínicos y pared costal.

Aunque tenemos pocos casos de nodulos solitarios y por tanto no podemos sacar conclusiones estadísticas, sí nos ha parecido que los cánceres periféricos proporcionalmente afectan menos a los ganglios mediastínicos.

A pesar de que en algún caso de los sobrevivientes hemos utilizado la ciclofosfamida, no podemos sacar conclusiones estadísticas.

En un caso avanzado se produjo un empiema, con larga sobrevivencia; tampoco hemos podido relacionar el empiema con un mejor poder inmunitario del enfermo.

Summary

The authors present their statistics of 20 cases of lung cancer surviving for more than 5 years. These represent 19% of the cases operated on that the authors were able to review after five years. This percentage does not represent the totality of the survivors because many of the questionnaires sent were returned for various reasons: change of address, no forwarding address known or death. This is to be explained by the fact that the majority of the cases were patients of the Social Security, low class, coming from different Spanish regions, and many of them with no stable residence.

Although these cases might not be valuable statistically, they are worthy of consideration. With relation to the symptomatology the authors did not find any correlation with the survival for 5 years. There was no preponderance of any histological type, and, in spite of the general statistics, the authors observed survival in two cases of cancer with oat-cells, but these are few cases for establishing definitive copdusions. in which the cancer spread beyond the limits of the lung, although in this series there are no survivors in cases of massive invasion of the mediastinal nodes and costal wall.

Although there were few cases of solitary nodes and therefore the authors cannot formulate statistical conclusions, it did seem to them that the peripherical cancers proportionally affect the mediastinal nodes less.

Although the authors did use cyclophosphamide in some case, they cannot formúlate statistical conclusions.

In one advanced case there was an empyema with long survival; the authors were unable to relate the empyema with a better immunitary power of the patient.
