Bronchogenic Carcinoma in Men Under 40 Years of Age

LAURENCE M. RIVKIN MC1 and JOHN M. SALYER MC1

1 The Thoracic Surgery Service, Fitzsimons Army Hospital. Presently at Mt. Zion Hospital, San Francisco, California.

Our experience at the Fitzsimons Army Hospital tends to indicate that bronchogenic carcinoma is no more malignant in those below 40 than in the older age groups. The age of the patient should not mitigate against the diagnosis of bronchogenic carcinoma. The aggressive treatment of young men with bronchogenic carcinoma can yield cures in a number of cases. Two patients in this younger age group of 26, having had definitive extirpative resections, are living and well, three and one-half and five years after surgical management.
