title: [Respiratory function tests in epidermoid cancers of the bronchi].
abstract: The results of functional tests are analyzed in 50 cases of epidermoid bronchial cancers. Severe disorders take place in almost every patient. In one patient out of two, there is an old distension already existing prior to the cancer; in other patients gas exchange disorders can be improved by the intervention. Moreover, from some results a spreading of cancer towards the mediastinum is to be feared.
