Abstract
The lack of symptoms in lung cancer is the main reason for its late diagnosis and therapy. In a surgical clinic only 32.5% of 1494 bronchogenic carcinomas (1970-1980) were operable. Forty percent of these lung cancers were detected by routine examination, 45.7% of the operable carcinomas and 25% of the inoperable carcinomas. Peripherally located carcinomas showed very few symptoms; even at an early stage, centrally located carcinomas showed as many symptoms as inoperable carcinomas.
