Bronchopulmonary cancer and chronic lymphocytic leukemia: a unique combination for which prognosis?
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF FUNCTIONAL VENTILATION AND PULMONOLOGY - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 26
Abstract
The association of lung cancer and chronic lymphocytic leukemia has already been described by some authors. The central issue remains the prognosis of both diseases, would it be worse or not by the association, or does there exist a causal link between the two diseases. We report the case of 56 year old, chronic smoker, with a bronchopulmonary cancer and being followed-up for chronic lymphocytic leukemia. He benefited from a right upper lobectomy preceded by a radical mediastinal lymphadenectomy with uncomplicated postoperative outcome. We focus on a systematic search of these secondary cancers to establish early treatment strategies to improve prognosis.
