The study was concerned with a comparison of 64 cases of lung cancer with concomitant postinfarctional cardiosclerosis, treated by surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, with similar patients who had not suffered from myocardial infarction. It was found that infarction patients may be given one component of combined treatment or a combination of two (radical surgery followed by a course of postoperative radiation treatment in a dose of 5,000 rad), if required. The long-term results of treatment of patients of both groups were similar.
