The paper deals with 3 cases of sclerodermia with pulmonary determinations detected by clinical, radiological, functional and histopathological means, of diffuse interstitial fibrosis type. The association with bronchopulmonary cancer is pointed out in one case only.
By means of a retrospective analysis on 405 cases found out as having bronchopulmonary cancer, the therapeutical possibilities on fixing the diagnosis were evaluated. The therapeutical attitude indicated by pre-established criteria and the therapeutical line adopted were also analysed. The low percentage (25%) of cases with favourable therapeutical perspectives at case finding, as well as the high percentage (75%) of cases found out in stages therapeutically beyond treatment are pointed out. Several non-concordances between recommended and applied therapies are discussed.
