Bronchio-alveolar carcinoma. A clinical overview and bibliography.
Clinical aspects of bronchio-alveolar carcinoma are reviewed through over 1,000 cases abstracted from the literature and 58 new cases. This form of lung carcinoma is more equally distributed among the sexes than other forms, and has a better prognosis when diagnosed early. Suggestions that the tumor has a multicentric origin are seen to have arisen from early experience with advanced cases.
