Received September 27, 1977; Cure of lung cancer only by anti-cancer drugs is rare. A case with bronchogenic carcinoma, which was histologically confirmed to be keratotic squamous cell carcinoma from the bronchoscopically biopsied specimen, was given local infusion of anti-cancer drugs through the bronchial artery as an adjuvant to the surgery. Three weeks later, lobectomy was performed. However, the resected specimen did not contain any cancer tissue and instead cicatrix had replaced the whole area where cancer had presumably existed before the drug infusion. These evidences disclosed a histopathological local cure of cancer.
