Does this Sarcoma need drastic surgery?

Abstract

I started my postgraduate histopathology training, in 1971, at The Royal Marsden Hospital in Fulham Road, Chelsea, situated opposite The Brompton Chest Hospital. These are old hospitals with a reputation. The first open thoracic operation in the world was said to have been performed at the Brompton to remove a lung tumour which turned out, on pathological examination, to be a solitary secondary deposit from a renal cell carcinoma, and with claimed long patient survival after the pneumonectomy and excision of the kidney bearing the primary tumour.
