Abstract
SINCE Evarts Graham1 accomplished the first successful pneumonectomy for carcinoma of the lung on February 27, 1933, there has been far-reaching progress in the field of cancer of the lung, including substantial gains in knowledge of the etiology, pathology, epidemiology, diagnosis and surgical treatment. No previous progress report in this journal has been limited exclusively to cancer of the lung although Scannell2 3 4 has reported liberally on the subject, with exhaustive bibliographies, in his progress articles on thoracic surgery. No effort will be made to recount all these data.PrevalenceOver the years since 1933 there has been a striking increase . . .Keywords
