Surgical Treatment of Lung Cancer Combined with Interstitial Lung Disease

Conclusion Most of LC-ILD were elderly patients with multiple comorbidities and decreased p ulmonary function, leading to significantly increased surgical risk. The ILD should be fully evaluated and controlled before surgery, intraoperative trauma should be minimized, and special attention should be paid to pulmonary complications and AE-ILD after surgery. Postoperative AE-ILD has a poor p rognosis and glucocorticoids may be effective. Early diagnosis and treatment is the key to treatment of AE-ILD. DOI: 10.3779/j.issn.1009-3419.2020.104.19
