Abstract

Recently the role of surgery in the LGP treatment is reviewed. 30 cases of LGP are reported; GT was in 9 cases performed, GST in 21 cases. All the patients were included in a therapeutical protocol as chemo and/or radio-therapy as adjuvant treatment. Two patients treated with GT died; the medial survival ranged was 30.5 months for the patients in stadium Ie, 52 months for the patients in stadium IIe and 15 months for the patients in stadium IV. The central role of surgery for treatment of this lesion is underlined; finally the role of adjuvant therapy is emphasized in the improvement of long-term survival.
