Bronchogenic carcinoma constitutes one of the primary causes of death in our population. The only means of controlling the disease in a significant way is by surgery, which about a third of the patients undergo. This fact, together with the age at which the pathology appears, its frequent association with chronic pulmonary disease, and the rapidity of its metastatic spread, make it necessary to establish a protocol for the study, diagnosis, and treatment of bronchogenic carcinoma. These norms should be applicable in prospective epidemiologic studies and for evaluating methods of diagnosis and treatment. The Interhospital Bronchogenic Carcinoma Co-operative Group has established a protocol, which includes the criteria of operability, resectability, preoperative examinations, indications of mediastinoscopy, etc. The authors mention the histopathologic classification, the TNM criteria, and the characteristics of localized or advanced disease.
支气管源性癌是我国人口主要死因之一。有效控制该疾病的唯一方法是手术，约三分之一的患者会接受手术。这一事实，连同该疾病出现的年龄、其与慢性肺部疾病的频繁关联以及转移扩散的快速性，使得有必要制定一个支气管源性癌的研究、诊断和治疗方案。这些规范应适用于前瞻性流行病学研究以及评估诊断和治疗方法。医院间支气管源性癌合作组已经制定了一个方案，其中包括可手术性、可切除性标准、术前检查、纵隔镜检查指征等。作者提到了组织病理学分类、TNM标准以及局限性或进展期疾病的特征。
