Abstract
In cases of true primary carcinoma of the lung surgery as yet offers little hope of relief. No completed group of cases of this disease treated by irradiation has been reported, and among the cases reported singly there are no authentic cures. A group of nineteen patients treated by high-voltage roentgen rays is reported. All died within ten months, all but three within four months. This brief period of survival is the same as that in a group of cases in which there was no treatment. In spite of the fact that life is not prolonged, roentgen-ray treatment in all but advanced cases gives marked temporary palliation.
