Pain
|October 1, 1986
Abstract:
164 patients with early cancer of the lungs, i.e., without extrathoracic spread or distant metastasis, were examined. Subjective and objective characteristics of the pain were studied. A correlation was found between the location of the neoplasm, the location of the pain and the characteristics of the sensory changes. These observations may be a useful contribution to the early diagnosis of primary carcinomas of the lungs.
