Primary Carcinoma of the Lung

EVARTS A. GRAHAM M.D., F.C.C.P.1

1 Department of Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine and Barnes Hospital, St. Louis, Missouri.

1) Primary carcinoma of the lung has shown a remarkable increase in the last half century, to become perhaps the most frequent visceral carcinoma in the male sex.

2) Apparently some exogenous carcinogenic factor, inherent in our recent culture, must be responsible for this dramatic increase.

3) The possibility of cigarette smoking as one of the factors is briefly discussed.

4) Bronchiogenic carcinoma is no longer, as formerly, a hopeless condition. It is curable by total pneumonectomy if the surgeon gets the patient early enough.
