Abstract:
Objective:Evaluate the role of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in the treatment of bilateral synchronous multiple primary lung cancers.Methods and Results:Two paitents diagnosised as bilateral synchronous multiple primary lung cancers received one-stage treatment combined conventional thoracotomy with video-assisted thoracic surgery,performing open lobectomy to remove the larger tumor,performing wedge resection using thoracoscopy to excise the smaller one.The surgery time is short.Patients all recover smoothly without complications.To date,these two patients all alive without any sign of recurrence or metastasis of tumor,median follow-up time is 5 months (2 months+8 months).Conclusions:It is feasible to carry out one-stage treatment combined conventional thoracotomy with video-assisted thoracic surgery on patients with bilateral synchronous multiple prima-ry lung cancers,when one of the tumors of bilateral synchronous multiple primary lung cancers is classificated as T1N0M0.
