Abstract		Background. Radiation is the most common specific method of lung cancer treatment. In the selection of patients, we have to consider the actual possibilities for radiation: the capacities of radiation and planning machines, and bed facilities for in-patients. The article is concerned for the role of radiotherapy in the following situations: radical radiation with curative intent for early stage disease, adjuvant mediastinal irradiation for completely resected tumors, radiation for known residual disease after surgical resection, preoperative radiation, prophylactic cranial radiation, radiation of locally advanced unresectable tumors, combination treatment with radiation and chemotherapy, and radiation with palliative intent in patients with metastases. Conclusions. In each of these cases the situation in the world and at the Institute of oncology Ljubljana is compared. Finally, the analysis of one-year turnover of lung cancer patients admitted in 1988 is presented.
Summary		Izhodišča. Obsevanje je najpogostejši način specifičnega zdravljenja pljučnega raka. Pri izboru bolnikov je treba upoštevati tudi dejanske možnosti za obsevanje: obsevalne in planirne zmogljivosti ter možnosti za hospitalizacijo. V članku je opisana vloga obsevanja v naslednjih situacijah: radikalno obsevanje zgodnjih stadijev z namenom ozdravitve, podporno obsevanje mediastina po kompletni resekciji, obsevanje ostanka tumorja po operaciji, preoperativno obsevanje, profilaktično obsevanje glave, obsevanje lokalno napredovalih neoperabilnih tumorjev, kombinirano zdravljenje z obsevanjem in kemoterapijo ter paliativno obsevanje bolnikov z metastazami. Zaključki. Pri vsaki od teh situacij so predstavljeni dosežki v svetu in stanje na Onkološkem inštitutu v Ljubljani. Na koncu je prikazana analiza obsevanih bolnikov s pljučnim rakom v letu 1988.
