All lung resections to evaluate lung cancer were performed using thoracotomy. Data are shown as numbers with percentages. Lung diseases for which LT was performed are shown in parenthesis. Percentages may not add up to 100% due to rounding. a, pulmonary infarction probably due to pulmonary embolism. LT, lung transplantation; TS, thoracic surgery; SCC, squamous cell cancer; ADC, adenocarcinoma; SCLC, small cell lung cancer; IPF, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
