Carcinoma of lung and bronchus. Incidence in a practice over four years.

The object of this paper is to present brief case histories, state essential points in modes of presentation, and thus try to arrive at an early diagnosis. There is need for a more aggressive attitude towards symptoms and signs with respect to this dread disease. While there is no clear symptom complex or distinctive physical sign, it is pointless waiting for the typical textbook symptoms such as enlarged liver, weight loss, cerebral metastasis or pulmonary osteoarthropathy.
