[Broncho-pulmonary cancer: what's new? The clinician's point of view].

The severity of the prognosis of broncho-pulmonary carcinomas justifies the numerous studies devoted to the disease. Epidemiologic and even clinical changes (like the "new adenocarcinoma") are important; as are the contributions of modern endoscopic and imaging techniques. As for the treatment, surgery isn't the side treatment and great improvements have been done with chemotherapy, radiotherapy and with more recently new drugs or bronchoscopic technology.
