Superior sulcus tumor of the lung is a bronchogenic tumor occurred in the apex of the upper lobe of the lung and is a unique clinical subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which account for less than 5% of all bronchogenic carcinomas. It often involves the first rib, brachial plexus, subclavian vessels, sympathetic chain, stellate ganglion or vertebra. A lot of progress has been achieved in the treatment of superior sulcus tumor over the past decades. Several clinical trials reported in recent years have confirmed that concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by surgical resection can improve the rate of complete resection, local control and pathological remission of the tumor, and prolong the total-survival time. It has become the most effective treatment mode for the superior sulcus tumor, and recommended as a standard treatment mode for superior sulcus tumor by National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) guidelines. This article reviews relevant literatures at home and abroad, and briefly introduces the advances in surgical treatment and comprehensive treatment of superior sulcus tumor. .
【中文题目：肺上沟瘤的治疗进展】 【中文摘要：肺上沟瘤是指发生在肺上沟区的的支气管源性肿瘤，是非小细胞肺癌（non-small cell lung cancer, NSCLC）的一个独特的临床亚型，占肺癌总数不足5%。它常侵犯第1肋、臂丛、锁骨下动静脉、交感神经链、星状神经节和（或）椎体等胸廓入口结构。近几十年，肺上沟瘤的治疗取得了不断的进展，最新发布的几个临床试验证实了同期放化疗加手术切除能够改善肿瘤的完整切除率、局部控制率和病理缓解率，延长患者的总生存时间。已经成为肺上沟瘤的治疗最为有效的方式，并成为美国国立综合癌症网络（National Comprehensive Cancer Network, NCCN）和美国胸科医师协会（American College of Chest Physicians, ACCP）指南推荐的肺上沟瘤治疗方案。本文回顾国内外相关文献，简要介绍肺上沟瘤手术治疗及综合治疗的进展情况。 】 【中文关键词：肺上沟瘤；同期放化疗；手术治疗】.
