Pancoast Tumor: Clinical Manifestations and Surgical Management
Main Article Content
Abstract
Pancoast tumors are an interesting pathological entity when it comes to talking about mediastinal tumors, the alterations they cause are deeply rooted in their location. The development of surgical techniques as well as new antitumor therapies have created a pillar on which therapy that generates high survival in these patients could be based. However, these treatments also carry their risks.
