In the course of a screening program for lung cancer detection which has been going on for several years, 2432 male risk persons, aged 42-67, were examined cytologically in 1974 and 1975. The annual rate of incidence of lung cancer in this population is unknown. We estimate it at 3-4%. From two sputa of each patient we screened one specimen. 24.7% of the sputa were unsatisfactory. In the remaining preparations there were neither tumor cells nor cells suspicious for cancer. This result is discussed in view of the experiences of other authors, that the sensitivity of cytological screening for lung cancer is 33-38%. Recommendations are given for increasing the number of detected cases.
在一项持续数年的肺癌检测筛查项目过程中，1974年和1975年对2432名年龄在42至67岁的男性高危人群进行了细胞学检查。该人群中肺癌的年发病率未知。我们估计为3%至4%。从每位患者的两份痰液样本中筛选一份样本。24.7%的痰液样本不合格。在其余的样本中，既没有肿瘤细胞，也没有可疑癌细胞。结合其他作者的经验，即肺癌细胞学筛查的敏感性为33%至38%，对这一结果进行了讨论。并给出了增加检测病例数的建议。
