Abstract
In 2 patients with stage I lung cancer, tumors recurred at their resection lines 10 years after the original surgical resections. These cases suggest that the prognosis of late cancer occurrences after resected primary lung m alignancies might be related to the interval of time between primary and su bsequent cancers rather than to their categorization as recurrent or metach ronous cancers.
