DIAGNOSIS OF BRONCHOGENIC CARCINOMA BY MEANS OF BRONCHIAL BRUSHING COMBINED WITH BRONCHOGRAPHY

Comparison of bronchial brushing, washing and forceps biopsies in diagnosis of bronchogenic carcinoma

  Five hundred eighty patients underwent diagnostic flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy: during June 1988 to March 1993 at the bronchoscopy center of Kerman university of medical sciences. Seventy six specimens were obtained from patients with bronchogenic carcinoma and 155 from patients with benign disease of the lung. The efficiency of brushing and washing techniques was compared with forceps b...

Bronchography in Diagnosis of Bronchogenic Carcinoma.

Cytologic diagnosis of lung lesions by bronchial brushing.

Material obtained by the bronchial brushing technique from 205 patients with radiographically demonstrable lung lesions was evaluated. The bronchial smears showed well-preserved cellular elements which provided for evalua­ tion of the type of cancer, as well as differentiation of cancer cases from in­ flammatory lesions. Lung carcinoma was diagnosed by bronchial brushing in 66 percent, by sputu...

C ytologic examination of sputum has long been used in the diagnosis of bronchogenic carcinoma. Tumors of the segmental and larger bronchi may shed cells detectable in the sputum for many months prior to becoming symptomatic or radiographically apparent.’ During this period of their development, standard endoscopic techniques have frequently proven inadequate to localize the lesion with suffici...
