title: [Value of repeated thoracic scanning in the surveillance of operated bronchial cancers].
abstract: The authors report three cases of endothoracic tumour recurrence in patients who have been operated on for primary lung cancer revealed by CT scanning, carried out systematically in the respiratory unit to a pre-established protocol. There were no other clinical, fibre-optic, or radiological signs of these recurrences before their discovery using CT scanning. The authors discuss the value of thoracic scanning in the systematic follow up of operated cases of bronchial cancer.
