When invasion of the brachial plexus occurs, tumours of the lung apex result in intolerable pain. On the basis of 13 cases, the authors show that surgical excision, whilst only palliative, is associated with immediate total or quasi-total disappearance of pain in all patients. This effect lasted for two to eighteen months. Operation gives marked relief in a painful situation not helped by medical treatment.
当臂丛神经受侵犯时，肺尖部肿瘤会导致难以忍受的疼痛。基于13例病例，作者表明手术切除虽仅为姑息性治疗，但所有患者术后疼痛立即完全或几乎完全消失。这种效果持续了2至18个月。手术能显著缓解药物治疗无效的疼痛状况。
