A 52 year old female has been diagnosed with a non small bronchial carcinoma in the left upper lobe. Following
further investigation it is staged as T1, N1, M0. Her FEV1 is 65% of her predicted. Which of the following is the most
appropriate treatment?
Your answer was Pneumonectomy which is correct
Pneumonectomy correct answer
Chemotherapy
Radiotherapy
Palliative care
Corticosteroids
Explanation:
This patient has a non small cell lung cancer confined to one lobe with ipsilateral lymph node involvement
and without metastases or carina involvement. Her FEV1 is also reasonable. From this information then a
surgical approach is the most appropriate. Non small cell lung cancers are not as responsive to
chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
