Between September 1989 and May 1997, a total of 180 patients with lung cancer underwent surgical treatment. Twenty-two of them were diagnosed as having small-sized (under 2 cm in diameter) lung cancer. In 11 of the 22 patients, preoperative diagnosis as small-sized lung cancer was obtained by a combination of CT and thin-slice CT. The postoperative diagnosis was well differentiated adenocarcinoma with p-TINOMO, stage 1. Eight patients with right lung cancer underwent lobectomy R<SUB>2</SUB>b. The remaining three patients with left lung cancer underwent lobectomy R<SUB>3</SUB>. All 11 patients have been disease free from 6 to 52 months (mean 33 months) after surgery. In conclusion a combination of CT and thin-slice CT is useful for the diagnosis of small sized lung cancer.
