چکیده
Although there has been an improvement in the mortality, morbidity, and five year survival rates for those undergoing operative procedures for cancer of the lung, there are many afflicted with the disease who reach the thoracic surgeon too late for satisfactory surgical therapy, the only accepted curative method available today.

The inflammatory reaction may result from intermittent or persistent obstruction of bronchial secretions due to neoplasm or its associated pathology. Experience with several patients, who were suspected of having bronchiogenic carcinoma, demonstrated the need for conservatism in such cases.
