The predicted survival time of 56 patients with lung cancer was calculated using Geddes ' nomogram for tumor diameter and tumor doubling time. The predicted survival time correlated favorably with the actual survival time. For many patients with resection the actual survival time far exceeded the predicted survival time; thus, the latter may be very useful as a control for the evaluation of all therapies of lung cancer.
