摘要
我们观察了２９例老年人肺癌从确诊到死亡的整个病程。其中１６例做了尸检。发现肺癌患病率在老年人所有肿瘤中占首位。如能早期诊断并早期手术，则存活时间可较长。定期体检、照胸片（正侧位）和反复痰细胞学检查，是尽早确诊、及时治疗的重要措施。而对非直接死于肿瘤的长期存活肺癌患者的尸检说明丁肿瘤难以根治，对这部分患者的定期复查仍属必要。
Abstract The complete process of 29 cascs with lung cancer until the death of the patient was studied. Their age ranged from 60 to 94 years. Autopsy was performed in 16 cases. It is shown that lung cancer is the most common malignant tumor in old people. The survival time would be longer if surgical operation was carried out immediately after an early diagnosis. Chest X-ray check up at reguler interval and repeated cytological examination of sputum in suspected cases are the most important procedures for early diagnosis and successful treatment. Autopsy in patients not died of cancer revealed that the most difficult thing for cancer treatment is complete eradication of the malignant lesion. Regular follow-up examination is mandatory for lung cancer patients after successful treatment even if tliey have survived for a relatively long time.
