Survival in Males with Bronchogenic Carcinomas Resected as Asymptomatic Solitary Pulmonary Nodules

Bronchiolar carcinoma: A valid clinicopathologic entity?A study of 30 cases

“…11914. 21, 22 while others deny this more favorable outlo0k.9~ 27 This study analyzes 30 rigidly defined bronchiolar carcinomas to identify morphological, histogenetic, or clinical features that justify separation of bronchiolar carcinoma as a distinct clinicopathologic entity.…”

Incidence and characteristics of bronchiolar cancer detected by photofluorography

“…It is of practical importance that nearly half of the cases were asymptomatic or had symptoms classified as preclinical and that the tumor was predominantly unicentric in contrast to earlier reports suggesting a multicentric origin. The fact that 1 1 of the 18 cases appeared as solitary nodules is of 8, 19 The proportion of solitary nodules in other types of carcinoma in the series from 1947 through 1961 was 6% in squamous cell, 8% in undifferentiated and 1 1 yo in adeno~arcinoma.~5 This situation is reflected in the proportion of resectable cases. Twelve of the 18 bronchiolar cases were resected, a larger proportion than in other histologic types, and 11 of the 12 resected were patients with solitary nodules.…”

A comparison of pathological methods of measuring lung cancer volume.

“…(1) assuming the tumours to be spherical, using the formula V = 4/3 (d/2)3 where d = maximum diameter; (2) assuming the tumours to be ellipsoidal,7 using the formula V = 4/3 X (d.e.f) where d, e and f are the semi-axes;…”
