Bronchial carcinoma in patients with pre-existing unilateral lung disease.

Forty-six cases of primary bronchogenic carcinoma occurring in patients with other unilateral pleuropulmonary diseases were studied. In 37 cases (80-4%) carcinoma developed in the previously healthy lung. All but one squamous-cell carcinoma and all of five undifferentiated small-cell carcinomas developed in the previously healthy lung while 7 of 15 adenocarcinomas were in the lung with impaired ventilation. It is suggested that the bronchial epithelium of the healthy lung is more exposed to exogenous carcinogens than that of the diseased, underventilated lung, resulting in a higher risk of development of squamous-cell and undifferentiated small-cell carcinoma.

Surgical treatment for lung cancer with metastasis to mediastinal lymph nodes.

A series of cases of lung cancer were analyzed, with particular attention to the relationship between the presence of lymph node metastases and the prognosis for surgical intervention. The cases are classified into four clinical stages and a detailed classification of histologically proved lymph node metastasis and pleural involvement is presented. Results indicate that the presence of mediastinal lymph node metastasis, especially in cases with squamous-cell carcinoma and negative subcarinal lymph node, does not contraindicate surgical treatment.
