[127 operated small lung cancers (1973-1980)]

We report upon 127 small-size carcinomas which have been operated from 1973 to 1980 at the "Pulmologisches Zentrum der Stadt Wien". The different parameters of tumours are brought into relation one to each other. 61 patients on which surgery was performed during the years 1973 to 1976 have been observed for 5 years or more. It has been investigated whether the time a patient survives is influenced by the size, by the location, by the type or by the stage of the tumour.
