背景资料：先前报道了一组51例经痰细胞学检查和支气管镜检查确诊的X线隐匿性肺癌患者。方法：所有患者均随访5年以上，并确定死亡原因。结果：27例切除治愈的患者实际5年生存率为74%，包括全因死亡。所有接受手术或放疗试图治愈的患者的5年生存率为54.3%。痰细胞学检查发现12例继发性癌症，其中8例死亡。结论：痰液细胞学检查可用于确定高风险患者的早期肺癌，其中治愈的机会是有利的。(C)2000年由Elsevier Science爱尔兰有限公司出版。
Background: A cohort of 51 consecutive patients with roentgenographically occult lung cancer, identified by sputum cytology and confirmed by bronchoscopy was reported previously. Methods: All patients have now been followed beyond 5 years and the causes of death ascertained. Results: The actual 5-year survival of 27 patients who were resected for cure was 74% including death for all causes. The 5-year survival of all patients who received either surgery or radiation in an attempt to cure was 54.3%. Twelve secondary cancers were found by sputum cytology; eight of these patients have died. Conclusions: Sputum cytology can be useful in the identification of early stage lung cancer in patients at high-risk where the chances of cure are favorable.
