    Abstract:
    We analyzed 15 patients with small but advanced primary lung cancer operated from 1965 to 1988. The size of tumors were less than 2.0 cm in largest dimension and their pathological stages III A, III B and IV. The histological types were adenocarcinoma in 13 cases and squamous cell carcinoma in 2 cases. Nine patients (69%) had elevated levels of preoperative serum CEA. The prognosis of patients with intrapulmonary metastases was better than that of those with pleural dissemination. In adenocarcinoma patients with mediastinal lymph node metastases, the survival rate of cases with small cancer less than 2.0 cm in diameter was higher than those with large cancer more than 5.0 cm in diameter.
