title: Changing times in surgical management of bronchopulmonary carcinoid tumor.
abstract: The bronchopulmonary carcinoid tumor occurs at all levels from trachea to lung periphery. It should be managed by conservatism in airway or lung resection. The long-term survival is excellent: 82% at 10 years in this series of 111 resected patients. The atypical carcinoid tumor (10% of this series) has a more ominous prognosis and requires special surgical attention. Six conceptual changes in the evolution of management of the tumor are presented (the "changing times").
