From follow-up examinations on 460 male and 67 female patients with bronchial cancer during the years 1981 and 1982 in the cantons of St. Gallen and Appenzell/Switzerland, as well as from the region of Vorarlberg/Austria various morphological and clinically registered parameters of importance to oncology were comparatively analysed. These regional clinical cancer registers have existed for many years and are recognized legitimately and clinically as an important partial aspect in diagnostic, therapy and prophylaxis of malignant tumours.
