Photodynamic Therapy for Recurrent Early Central Lung Cancer of Great Longitudinal Extent Following Two Surgical Lung Resections: A Case Report

Abstract Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) is a rare congenital anomaly. Generally, it is seen on the right side and is associated with an atrial septal defect. Herein, we present a case of a 50-year-old male patient with a supracardiac type PAPVC detected during pneumonectomy for a right hilar mass. This is the second case report in the literature presenting surgical treatment of both lung cancer and PAPVC using pneumonectomy. Thoracic surgeons should be aware of this anomaly when they are planning to perform a major lung resection. If PAPVC and lung cancer are in the same lobe, anatomical lung resections including pneumonectomy can be safely performed.

OBJECTIVE. The research evaluated efficacy of combined treatment of initially nonresectable and inoperable cases of non-small cell lung cancer. The treatment consisted of preoperative endobronchial and intraoperave photodynamic therapies. MATERIAL AND METHODS. The prospective investigation included patients with central non-small cell lung cancer. These cases were initially considered as nonresectable (the trachea was involved in tumor) or inoperable (functional intolerance of pneumoectomy/ bilobectomy). Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (2-6 courses) and endobronchial photodynamic therapy (PDT) were conducted for these patients in preoperative period. PDT of resection edge was carried out during the operation and it was straight away after specimen removal and ipsilateral lymphodissection. RESULTS. The research was made on 38 patients. Lung resections underwent 30 (79 %) patients. Surgeries included 20 pneumoectomies and 10 lobectomies. Bronchial resection was performed by crossing an initially affected zone. It was noted that 5-year survival consisted of 68 %. CONCLUSIONS. Photodynamic therapy was important in combination with chemotherapy and surgical treatment of central non-small cell lung cancer. These measures allowed doctors to decrease the resection volume in part of inoperable patients or patients with initially nonresectable tumors.
