A perusal of the literature, however, shows that the disease is not so rare as one is led to believe by several recent books on cancer (1–4), in which no reference is made to the existence of tracheal carcinoma. According to Culp (5) 433 tracheal tumors had been recorded up to the year 1938, 141 of which were carcinoma. In this report we are not especially interested in the total number of cases of carcinoma of the trachea heretofore recorded but rather in the ability to diagnose the condition by the roentgen ray and its response to treatment. According to Schinz, quoted by Weiss and Biermann (6), only 2 of the 271 intratracheal tumors known up to that time (1932) had been diagnosed and located by roentgenologic means. This is difficult to understand in view of the constant use of the x-ray in chest affe... |
