This is to report the detection and localization of the early lung cancer at the hilar region in the 16 patients who have visited the National Cancer Center Hospital during the period from May 1962 to December 1979. For the early detection of early lung cancer at the hilar region, the male patients 45 years and older and with Cigarette Indexes of 600 and higher should be classified in the "high risk group", and screening should be carried out for these patients. When the patients have bloody sputum, in particular, the possibility of the discovery is even higher. The effective screening method is the combination of sputum cytology and chest X-ray. For localization, the examination by flexible bronchial fiberscope is the most effective, particularly in the case of Chest X-ray negative occult lung cancers. Careful obsevation should be made on the shining of mucosal surface, little irregularity and little changes in longitudinal or transverse mucosal folds, as the effective bronchoscopic findings for the detection of carcinoma in situ or early invasivecarcinoma.
