The records of 100 patients with morphologically proven breast cancer metastatic to the chest retrospectively were analysed. The following manifestations were found by evaluating roentgenographs of the chest and available results of endoscopy and biopsy which were carried out in most of the cases: solid pulmonary coin lesion, multiple pulmonary coin lesions, lymphangiosis carcinomatosa, bronchostenosis caused by cancer, mediastinal lymph node metastases. Since life expectancy in approximatively 70 per cent can be increased by chemotherapy the authors put emphasis on the importance of early diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer disseminated to the chest.
对100例经形态学证实乳腺癌转移至胸部的患者记录进行回顾性分析。通过评估胸部X线片以及大多数病例中进行的内镜检查和活检的现有结果，发现了以下表现：肺部实性结节、多发性肺部结节、癌性淋巴管炎、癌性支气管狭窄、纵隔淋巴结转移。由于化疗可使约70%患者的预期寿命延长，作者强调了早期诊断转移至胸部的乳腺癌的重要性。
