[Specifics of surgical treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer associated with tuberculosis].

Small cell lung cancer incidence associated with tuberculosis is 4.5-7 times that in a relevant population of tumor patients. Tuberculosis which masks tumor and metastatic spread to the mediastinal lymph nodes taxes the patient's potential. Treatment of such pathology involves increased rates of intraoperative complications, pulmonectomies, suture failure risk in primary bronchus stump and postoperative mortality.
