Surgical Therapy for Bilateral Multiple Primary Lung Cancer

The prognosis of patients after bilateral surgical treatment with curative intent for BMPLC was shown to be promising. The use of a limited resection procedure for the contralateral second nodule in cases with stage I BMPLC did not have a negative effect on the 5-year overall survival. Postoperative pathologic diagnosis classified by the most advanced TNM had a good correlation with prognosis in patients with BMPLC.
