The overall 5-year survival rate of the patients was 14.1%. There was significant difference between stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ and stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ disease (28.6% vs 2.8%, P=0.003), respectively. The 5-year survival rates of lobectomy, pneumonectomy and palliative resection were 3 3.3 %, 2.8% and 0% ( P=0.003 ), respectively.Conclusion:
