RESUMO
Survival rate over a 5-year period were studied in a series of 658 proven primary lung cancer patients treated by thoracic surgeons at 8 institutes during the period from 1976 to 1987 in Korea. The study was designed as a multi-center cooperative work for the statistical analysis of the followup result. Clinical data of age, sex, morbidity, and staging of the tumor were assessed in 540 patients to evaluate their 5-year survival rates. Eventually, 405 resectable patients were analyzed by stage, cell type, surgical procedure, and TNM status. The 5-year actuarial survival rates by stage in the resectable group were: stage I 39.7%, II 30.6% III A 16.3%, III B 6.7%, and IV 0%. The 5-year survival rates by cell type were: squamous cell 31.9%, adenocarcinoma 21.2%, large cell 11%, and small cell 6%. The survival rates by surgical procedures were: lobectomy 30.7% and pneumonectomy 25.7%. The survival rates by TNM status in the operable group were: T1 34.7%, T2 26.8%, T3 7.5%, T4 5%; N1 23%, N2 10%, N3 3%; MO 21%, and M1 0%, respectively. The overall actuarial 5-year survival rate in the group of 405 resectable patients was 25.9%.

A clinical study was done on 16 cases of constrictive pericarditis admitted to National Medical Center, from january, 1970 to October, 1982, were reviewed, conclusion as follows: 1) The patients with constrictive pericarditis generally revealed clinical features of right heart failure but low incidence of its characteristic features. 2) Hemodynamic and echocardiographic examinations were much helpful in confirmation of clinical diagnosis. 3) pericardiectomy was highly succesful in achievement of clinical improvement.
