[261 cases of bronchopulmonary cancer detected by radiophotography].
In Bucharest, district 6, of the 1 151 313 radiophotographies performed, 261 revealed bronchopulmonary cancers (22.6 per 10 000) of which 73% males and 27% females, the 50--70 years age group being the most affected (181 cases, i.e. 70%). The 85% deaths occurred within 2 years after detection. In 68% (177 cases) cancer was peripheral and in 32% centrohillar. The peripheral localization in 68% of the cases opens prospects for an early detection by dynamic follow up of the pulmonary radiophotography at shorter intervals, especially in the age group with a higher cancer risk (50--70 years), indicating in some cases immediate admission to a surgical department.
