Histological study of five minute pulmonary neoplasms believed to represent early bronchogenic carcinoma

Bronchogenic Carcinoma: Relation to Antecedent Pulmonary Infection.

Early Localization of Bronchogenic Carcinoma

The performance of a fluorescence imaging device was compared with conventional white-light bronchoscopy in 100 patients with lung cancer, 46 patients with resected stage I non-small cell lung cancer, 10 patients with head and neck cancer, and 67 volunteers who had smoked at least 1 pack of cigarettes per day for 25 years or more. Using differences in tissue autofluorescence between premalignan...

Diagnosis of early bronchogenic carcinoma.

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...

Coexistent bronchogenic carcinoma and active pulmonary tuberculosis; a report of five cases with autopsy findings.

There is a divergence of opinion as to the frequency of active pulmonary tuberculosis and primary carcinoma of the lung. Until recently the occurrence of the two diseases in the same patient was considered rare. Earlier observers were of the opinion that carcinoma and tuberculosis were incompatible, and that an element of antagonism existed between them.’2 Others have pointed out that tuberculo...
