Some important data characterizing the situation in lung cancer control were analyzed in Berlin, capital of the German Democratic Republic, during the period 1975-1979. The incidence rates amounted to 91.9/100 000 in men and 20.5/100 000 in women. The incidence is higher in the capital Berlin than in the GDR as a whole. Lung cancer patients were mostly treated by radiation therapy (19.7%) or surgery alone (16.6%). The cumulative relative 5-year-survival rate of patients treated in 1975/76 amounted to 10.3%. Primary prevention by consequent reduction of tobacco consumption rates, especially in younger people, would be the most important contribution to reduce lung cancer risk and seems to be more effective than secondary prevention. The reduction of exposition against cancerogenic factors, the control of exposed people and chest X-ray examinations of persons at high risk are further contributions to improve lung cancer control.
1975年至1979年期间，在德意志民主共和国首都柏林，对一些表征肺癌控制情况的重要数据进行了分析。男性发病率为91.9/10万，女性为20.5/10万。首都柏林的发病率高于整个德意志民主共和国。肺癌患者大多接受放射治疗（19.7%）或单纯手术治疗（16.6%）。1975/76年接受治疗的患者的累积相对5年生存率为10.3%。通过持续降低吸烟率进行一级预防，尤其是在年轻人中，将是降低肺癌风险的最重要贡献，而且似乎比二级预防更有效。减少对致癌因素的接触、对接触人群的管控以及对高危人群进行胸部X光检查，是改善肺癌控制的进一步举措。
