Abstract
 
 
I. From a thorough study of the literature, and from my own clinical experience, the incidence of Primary Bronchial Carcinoma is markedly and definitely on the increase. II. Though no definite etiological factor is found responsible for this disease or for the increased incidence, the conclusion is drawn that some irritants of unknown origin acting on the Bronchial Mucosa play some Hart, and that these irritants are now in greater concentration in the atmosphere than formerly. III.The only known instance where Primary Bronchial Carcinoma occurs as an occupational disease is in the miners of the Schneeberg. This is due to the presence of certain unknown irritants peculiar to these mines. A historical survey shows that the occurrence, though not the nature, of this disease was known from medieval times. IV. The pathology is fully described and classified and arguments advanced in favour of the new conception of Barnard, and in explanation of the origin of the different types of tumours. V. There are no pathognomonic symptoms or physical signs, but there are certain symptoms and signs which which should arouse suspicion of the presence of Primary Bronchial Carcinoma. All the symptoms and signs are analysed according to their frequency and importance in the series of fifty nine cases, and the pathological conditions giving rise to them are mentioned. VI. The accessory methods of examination are described and their indications, importance, and relative merits emphasised. VII. A short account of modern methods of treatment is given, and finally tan clinical Casos are described, including their X -ray appearances and post-mortem reports.
