Analysis of prognosis and risk factors of patients with bronchopulmonary carcinoid tumors after surgical treatment / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the prognostic factors and survival of patients with bronchopulmonary carcinoid tumors (BPC) after surgical treatment .Methods The clinical data of 87 patients undergoing surgery for BPC from Jan .2002 to Dec .2008 were reviewed retrospectively .Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the survival of the patients .The risk factors such as age , gender ,smoking history ,histological type ,tumor size ,were analyzed by Cox proportional hazards regression model .Results The 1-,3-and 5-year overall survival rates were 85 .1% ,71 .3% and 63 .2% .Univariate analysis revealed that age (P=0 .016) ,smoking history(P=0 .007) ,histological type(P=0 .000) ,tumor stage(P= 0 .000) ,tumor size(P= 0 .006) lymph node metastasis(P=0 .000) ,surgery type (P= 0 .045) and postoperative chemotherapy (P= 0 .000) were prognostic factors .Multivariate analysis showed that histological type(P=0 .008) ,tumor stage(P=0 .000) ,lymph node metastasis(P=0 .033) were independent prognostic factor .Conclusion The survival rate of the BPC patient after surgical treatment is high ,histological type ,tumor stage and lymph node metastasis were independent prognostic factors .
