At the Military Medical Academy about 400-500 patients are hospitalised yearly due to bronchogenic carcinoma which represents about 35-40% of all hospitalized patients. Within a five-year period (1983-1987) there have been examined and treated 887 patients, 406 military and the rest socially insured from Belgrade, Serbia Proper and other regions of Yugoslavia. All types of antitumorous therapy have been applied depending on histologic type and degree of spreading of the disease. After completion of active antitumorous therapy patients were followed up and controlled examinations were performed at the out-patient service with symptomatic therapy at home and temporary hospitalization at the M.M.A. More than 300 patients were hospitalised in the terminal stage of the diseases for general care and symptomamic therapy for approximately 30 days.
