Prognostic significance of massive bronchogenic tumor embolus

RF Heitmiller
Department of Thoracic Surgery, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, MD 21205.

Arterial obstruction from the tumor embolus carries substantial morbidity and mortality. For those patients who survive embolectomy, prognosis is most closely correlated with the TNM staging of the primary lung tumor ignoring the tumor embolus.
