In a previous study at Roswell Park Memorial Institute, it was noted that in patients whose resected non-small-cell lung cancer had originated in the right middle lobe, the prognosis was much worse than when it had originated in any other lobe. A review of a longer period and exclusion of patients who might introduce a bias resulted in a group of 18 patients whose fate was compared to the findings reported in other comparable series. Three out of those are alive at 8-96 months after operation. Five-year survival was 22% (30% counting only survivors of the operations). These findings indicate that the results of surgery for non-small-cell carcinoma of the right middle lobe fall within the lower range of lung cancer generally.
在罗斯韦尔公园纪念研究所之前的一项研究中，注意到在切除的非小细胞肺癌起源于右中叶的患者中，其预后比起源于其他任何叶的情况要差得多。对更长时间段的回顾以及排除可能引入偏差的患者后，得到了一组18例患者，将他们的预后与其他类似系列报道的结果进行了比较。其中3例在术后8 - 96个月存活。五年生存率为22%（仅计算手术幸存者时为30%）。这些结果表明，右中叶非小细胞癌的手术结果总体上处于肺癌较低水平范围内。
