    Notes: Summary A method for determining the incidence of malignancies of the stomach, colon, rectum, and lungs has been based on the frequency of the tumors in the autopsy material of the Institute of Pathology of the University of Heidelberg for the period 1900 to 1975. The main goal of this model is time independent selection of autopsy material indicated by an almost constant pattern for sex, average age at death, number of inhabitants, and number of autopsies. There is a relationship between incidence and autopsy frequency only when coding the diagnoses independently of their contributions to the cause of death. The results show a nearly constant incidence of stomach cancer, a steady incidence of colon and rectal cancer which, however, differs for men and women, and a large increase in the incidence of lung cancer.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Im Zeitraum von 1973-1983 wurden 170 Patienten mit kleinzelligem Bronchialcarcinom einer Resektionsbehandlung unterzogen. 2/3 der Patienten wurden durch Lobektomie bzw. Bilobektomie einschließlich broncho- und gefäßplastischer Maßnahmen operiert, 1/3 mußte pneumonektomiert werden. Innerhalb 30 Tagen verstarben 26 Patienten (15 %), wobei die Letalität der Pneumonektomie doppelt so hoch wie jene der Lobektomie war. In den letzten Jahren sind die Letalitätsraten von 20 % auf 7 % gesunken. Die nach Kaplan und Meier berechneten Überlebenswahrscheinlichkeiten haben sich unter Polychemotherapie signifikant verbessert, die 3-Jahres- bzw. 5-Jahres-überlebenswahrscheinlichkeit betrug in den letzten Jahren 31% bzw. 20%.
    Notes: Summary From 1973 to 1983 170 patients underwent surgical treatment of small cell lung cancer. In 2/3 of the cases we performed lobectomy resp. bilobectomy including bronchoplastic and arterioplastic resections, the other third of patients underwent pneumonectomy. 26 patients (15 %) died within 30 days. Postoperative mortality in patients with pneumonectomy was 17 % and in patients undergoing lobectomy 7 %. Since 1978 lethality rate dropped from 20 % to 7 %. Due to polychemotherapy, estimated time of survival (according to Kaplan and Meier) has increased significantly, adding up to 3-years- and 5-years-survival rates of 31 % and 20% respectively.
