Abstract

Smoking is a cause of cancer and polycythemia. Therefore, surgeons who treat patients with cancer may also encounter patients with polycythemia. However, few cases of surgical patients with polycythemia have been reported; in particular, a surgical case involving smokers' polycythemia has never been reported. We herein report a patient with lung cancer and smokers' polycythemia who successfully underwent lobectomy with control of hematocrit based on a modified formula in the perioperative period.
