“…If only the lower tracheal and carinal lymph nodes are involved by tumour, the primary along with its metastases can sometimes be removed; but this is unlikely. The prognosis for patients with disease as extensive as this is always worse whether or not resection is carried out (Johnson, 1960;Wilkins and Sweet, 1957;Barrie, 1952). In any event, preliminary mediastinal exploration in those patients with apparent central spread enables the surgeon to decide whether formal thoracotomy offers a chance of cure without subjecting the remainder of these patients to a fruitless major procedure.…”

“…
Since the malignant potential of solitary pulmonary nodules was first emphasized,1-3 a number of papers have inferred the same dismal prognosis for bronchogenic carcinoma presenting as a solitary nodule as for bronchogenic carcinoma in general.4-7 Thereby the value of roentgen survey in the early detection of pulmonary carcinoma has been questioned as well.Recently survival rates much better than those usually attributed to bronchogenic carcinoma [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] have been recorded 16-26 for the malignant solitary nodule.During the period of January, 1952, to January, 1957, a total of 46 patients with bronchogenic carcinoma manifested as a solitary pulmonary nodule were treated by us. The results of the experience with this small group of patients emphasizes several facets in the management of this form of carcinoma.

In this group of patients there was the usual sex ratio and age distribution.
