Résumé

The authorities advocate a minimalist attitude towards the follow-up of resected bronchial carcinoma (clinical examination and chest x-ray). A survey showed that 70% of French respiratory physicians have chosen to use the CT scanner and often endoscopy. The published data are equivocal and are often based on retrospective studies. Lung cancer is a good model for a study of post-operative surveillance. Recurrences often occur in easily observed areas, they may be detected while still asymptomatic and are sometimes potentially curable. Second primary tumours may develop at the same site.
