Professor Victor Francis Lambert presented his Semon Lecture in 1959. He gave a general description of the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of post-nasal tumors, with warning that histological diagnosis is frequently inaccurate and that diagnosis is often far too late, therefore highlighting that more attention to early signs is needed.
