Abstract:
Objective To analyze the prognosis of thoracic tumor patients with leukemoid reaction.
Methods Seventeen thoracic tumor cases with leukemoid reaction were perioperatively observed.
Results Of the 17 patients, 12 underwent surgery. Of the 12 patients treated with surgery, one died of serious complications, 9 received chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and two did not receive the aforementioned treatments. Nine patients died 4 months to 15 months after surgery, and the other two cases were not followed up. Four patients who received chemotherapy and radiotherapy without surgery died after 3 months to 11 months. One patient left the hospital without the doctor's permission and sought treatment from Chinese medicine but died after three months.
Conclusion The prognosis of thoracic tumor patients with leukemoid reaction is bad. However, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy may help improve the prognosis.
