[The clinical value of autofluorescence bronchoscopy for the diagnosis of lung cancer].
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the benefit of using autofluorescence bronchoscopy (AFB) for the detection and localization of early invasive lung cancer. METHODS AFB and white light bronchoscopy (WLB) were performed on 198 cases of suspected lung cancer, and the relative sensitivity of WLB plus AFB compared with WLB alone. RESULTS Included 198 biopsy specimens, and 160 were classified as positive b...
متن کاملAutofluorescence bronchoscopy for lung cancer surveillance based on risk assessment.
BACKGROUND This is a preliminary report of an ongoing prospective bimodality lung cancer surveillance trial for high-risk patients. Bimodality surveillance incorporates autofluorescence bronchoscopy (AFB) and spiral CT (SCT) scanning in high-risk patients as a primary lung cancer surveillance strategy, based entirely on risk factors. AFB was used for surveillance and findings were compared with...
متن کاملHigh definition bronchoscopy: a randomized exploratory study of diagnostic value compared to standard white light bronchoscopy and autofluorescence bronchoscopy
BACKGROUND Videobronchoscopy is an essential diagnostic procedure for evaluation of the central airways and pivotal for the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer. Technological improvements have resulted in high definition (HD) images with advanced real time image enhancement techniques (i-scan). OBJECTIVES In this study we aimed to explore the sensitivity of HD+ i-scan bronchoscopy for detect...

متن کاملA comparison of video and autofluorescence bronchoscopy in patients at high risk of lung cancer.
The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic yield of flexible video bronchoscopy (FVB) and autofluorescence bronchoscopy (i.e. lung imaging fluorescence endoscopy (LIFE)) in 151 patients at a high risk of lung cancer and with moderate dysplasia or worse on sputum cytology mass screening. Findings from FVB and LIFE were classified as either normal, abnormal or suspicious for cancer. Endo...
