The authors reviewed lateral radiographs to analyze the first findings in lung cancer in three groups of patients: those with proved lung cancer (78 patients); those with lung cancer initially undetected (27 patients); and those who had chest radiographs for any reason (10,597 patients). In no instance was a lesion detected on the lateral view only.
