At first glance it appears that little has happened in our
understanding of bronchogenic carcinoma, since five year survival
rates have not changed appreciably over the past ten years. This is
partially true, however the depth of our understanding has
increased and will continue to do so at a rapid pace over the next
five to ten years. Information on the basic tumor biology,
identification of important groups at high risk and im proved
delivery of cytotoxic agents in the treatment of lung cancer, will
all add to improve the outcome. The purpose of this text is to
provide useful background information and to serve as a reference
for approaching the patient with lung cancer. Therefore it will
serve as a review for some and as a beginning for others. An
important starting point in any discussion of lung cancer is an
epidemiological survey of the topic (Chapter I). For those who do
not avoid the hazards and present with symptoms, what is the most
logical approach in determining the diagnosis (Chapter II). This
chapter is intended to provide a general overview of the subjects
covered in detail in the remainder of the text."
