Relationship between Tumor Doubling Time and Anatomoclinical Features in 50 Measurable Pulmonary Cancers

Philippe Chahinian M.D.1

1 Hôspital Cochin, Service de Pneumologie (Pr Kreis), Paris, France

The tumor doubling time (TDT) of 50 measurable pulmonary cancers (primary and metastatic) has been evaluated by the Collins graphic method. The prognosis value of the TDT has been discussed in correlation with some current clinical and laboratory features, ie sex, age, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, tuberculin cutaneous response, size of the tumor on the first roentgenogram, and clinical symptoms. The closest correlation has been found with Feinstein's symptom staging, which can be applied moreover to every pulmonary cancer, measurable or not.
