BRONCHOGENIC CARCINOMA: A SIXTEEN-YEAR STUDY

Five-year results of a controlled study of BCG immunotherapy after surgical resection in bronchogenic carcinoma.

Ninety-two patients with histologically confirmed bronchogenic carcinoma treated by surgical resection of the tumour were subsequently given immunotherapy with BCG (Glaxo). The patients were randomly allocated into three groups. Twenty-nine patients received multipuncture BCG (50 to 250 X 10(6) viable units), and twenty-six patients intradermal BCG (0.4 to 0.9 X 10(6) viable units), treatment b...

There is a wide spectrum of radiologic manifestations of lung cancer, and recognition of these findings is essential for patient management. As we continue to u...
