  • will it affect the patient's ability to breath after cutting out part of his/her lung?

  • @everythingalsoYUI No after lobectomies.

  • ya no vuelvo a fumar.lo juro.

  • @jurogalay2 Ha dejado a fumar significa hay una fuerza de voluntad

  • What is your opinion concerning segmentectomy for early lung cancer?

  • @frankfurtsurgery

    I prefer to perform lobectomies for early lung cancer. Once Robert Ginsberg has already proved, that 5-year survival of lung cancer patients with stage I after segmentectomies is worse significantly as compared with lobectomies. In rare instances for weakened patients with very low functional lung data especially for early cancer in left upper lobe it is acceptable segmentectomies.

  • Expert!

  • In oncology early detection saves the life and allows surgeons to perform minimal radical operation (lobectomy) with 80-100% full recovery. Today it is CT-scan + fibrobronchoscopy. Situation becomes complicated at once if we have local advanced lung cancer. Only very skilled surgeons are capable to perform such combined operation adequately.

  • i lost my father to this horrific disease in 1998 and he stopped smoking 28 years earlier in 1970. i myself quit in 2003 and it was the best thing i've ever done. THANK YOU GOD.

  • @everythingalsoYUI for a while but she will recover just fine. I got a friend that his uncle survived with only half a lung left after the vietnam war and he braths just fine and rides around in a mountain bike all around town still to this day!
