Еffectiveness of ct-guided transthoracic biopsy

Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of CT-guided thoracic biopsy in diagnosis lung and mediastinal malignancies. Materials methods . A retrospective analysis 32 cases transthoracic was performed. Lung masses suspicious for malignancy with a size more than 2.0 cm area available manipulation were indication Cor-biopsy additional examination impression smears. step-by-step procedure involved CT positioning object, marking by radiation therapy program, performing procedure. The cytological histological materials evaluated compared. Results. manipulations performed patients (75±7.7%) (25±7.7%) proved technical procedure, which lasted 37±9 minutes. confirmed smears 81.3±6.9% cases, using – 71.9±8% (p>0.05). agreement between results obtained both 53.1±8.8%. Immunohistochemical material 69.6±9.6% patients. Procedural complications (pneumothorax hemoptysis) observed 21.9±7.3% Cytological allowed planned immunohistochemical to be foreseen high degree probability. Conclusion. puncture is highly effective method diagnosing malignancies, allows their morphological characterization done 81% cases.
