Examinations changed this year, including chest tomogram, CT and bronchofiberscopy, showed atelectasis of the right S³ without obstruction of and . Histologically, a well differentiated adenocarcinoma was found in a transverse bronchial lung biopsy specimen. Postoperative staging was confirmed to be pT₂NoMo.
