Primary neoplasms of the lung.

چکیده
The amazing variety of primary neoplasms of the lung and the frequency with which they are encountered is appreciated more widely now than at any other period in the history of medicine. They were once thought by clinicians to be rare pathological curiosities, their antemortem diagnosis next to impossible, and treatment of them so unsatisfactory as to make a careful search for them a waste of time and effort. Now that extirpation of these tumors has become a relatively safe practice, and thoracic surgery is generally available in most sections of the country, there is more reason for all physicians to be interested in their detection and early recognition. This fact, with the ever increasing use of community-wide mass x-ray surveys, has caused the discovery of more and more of these potentially fatal neoplasms at a stage in which a cure is possible. It has also disclosed that many of the chronic or persistent infectious diseases of the lungs are due to bronchial occlusion by tumors which are amenable only to corrective surgery. The following pages contain an outline of the various types of primary neoplasms to be found in the lungs, a description of the means of their detection, and a discussion of the possibilities for their treatment.
