|May 3, 1980
Abstract:
One hundred and sixty cases of pulmonary neoplasm were seen in one year at the Alfred Hospital, Victoria, Australia. Only 41 patients were considered suitable for operative resection. Preoperative mediastinoscopy showed that 19 of these 41 patients had inoperable tumours, and thus prevented 19 unnecessary operations. Potentially curative resections were performed in 15 patients (10%).
