Abstract:
From a total of 1,366 patients with bronchial carcinoma, all selected for an operative procedure, we found 101 patients with small cell carcinoma. For out of 7 of those with small cell carcinoma only mediastinoscopy revealed histological proof of the carcinoma. Thus mediastinoscopy proves to be a valid means for preoperative evaluation of intrathoracic growth of a tumor.
