[The value of surgical studies for the current state of diagnosis and treatment of bronchial cancer].
A critical consideration of the modern situation of the diagnostics and therapy of the bronchial carcinoma shows compared with the expense a proportionately small healing quotient of nearly 7% of all diagnosed bronchial cancers. The analysis of the possibilities of the present ways for the therapy shows that an additional improvement of the operative and immediate postoperative results could not lead to a substantial modification of the healing quotient altogether. An improvement is possible only through an increase of the number of operable patients at the moment of the diagnosis. This requires a radical modification of the methods for the early diagnosis. Possible ways for them are shown. A smaller improvement of the healing quotient could be achieved by the intensification and the correction of the after treatment in the later time, inclusively the well-timed and effective treatment of relapse and metastases. The healing quotient after five years may probably be doubled with the right use of the above mentioned measures.
