This study analyses retrospectively 100 consecutive thoracotomies performed for lung cancer before end 1986. Chest CT scan assessed mediastinal lymph node disease, chest wall invasion and mediastinal invasion, with an overall accuracy of 75, 93 and 91 per cent respectively; mediastinal lymph node disease was significantly more underestimated in the stage III group. Characteristics, type of surgical and adjuvant therapy and follow-up were analysed in the T3 (16 patients) and the N2 (18 patients) group. Complete resection was possible in only a minority of the cases: 3 in the T3 group and one in the N2 group. Of the T3 group, 3 patients have survived more than 3 years and 3 are actually still alive. Of the N2 group, only 2 patients are still alive. Most deaths were due to generalization of the disease.
