Abstract
In this report we give the survival data on 52 patients with stage I cancer of the lung who have been treated in Ottawa. A year has passed since the last figures for survival were published [15, 16]. We also indicate survival data for the small numbers of patients who were included in this study and who had either stage II or stage III disease. The rationale and design of this study has been reported in detail [14] as has the preparation and characterization of antigens used for immunisation [6]. The usefulness of such antigens in monitoring patients progress following curative surgery has also been reported [16].
