| Popis: | ‘First and foremost we must, as a profession, become more “carcinoma-minded” in regard to the lungs’. No-one would disagree, but this statement was made by RC Brock, later Lord Brock, nearly 60 years ago in the British Medical Journal[1]. Carcinoma of the bronchus still remains the most common cancer in men and the second most common cancer in women. In England there are approximately 32 000 deaths from lung cancer per annum[2]. The incidence of lung cancer in males appears at last to be reducing but there is little real evidence of that happening in females. In some groups it is still rising and in Glasgow has even equalled that of breast cancer. |
