The most important demand the surgeon can make in respect of the radiologist's work is earliest possible diagnosis of lung cancer. Secondly, the surgeon is always grateful for any pointer leading to diagnosis of the type (and status) of the tumor. This supplies decisive information for both operative planning and perioperative technique. For example, it is essential to know, if x-ray reveals a circular focus, whether this represents tuberculosis of a carcinoma. In case of tuberculosis, drug treatment will be prescribed perioperatively, and the site of operation is limited as much as possible, whereas bronchial carcinoma requires immediate surgery which should be as radical as possible.
外科医生对放射科医生的工作提出的最重要要求是尽可能早期诊断肺癌。其次，外科医生总是感激任何有助于诊断肿瘤类型（和状况）的线索。这为手术规划和围手术期技术提供了决定性信息。例如，如果X线显示一个圆形病灶，必须知道这是结核还是癌。如果是结核，围手术期将进行药物治疗，并且手术部位应尽可能受限，而支气管癌则需要立即进行尽可能根治性的手术。
