Fluorescence thoracoscopy in the detection of pleural malignancy.
OBJECTIVE Conventional thoracoscopy, routinely performed in patients with pleural diseases, is not always conclusive in staging of pleural spread. Fluorescence diagnosis (FD) with 5-aminolaevulinic acid (5-ALA) has been used in the diagnostic purpose for various malignancies. The impact of fluorescence thoracoscopy on diagnosis and staging of pleural malignancies was examined. METHODS A total...
متن کاملCombined ultrasound-guided cutting-needle biopsy and standard pleural biopsy for diagnosis of malignant pleural effusions
BACKGROUND The most efficient approach to diagnose malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) is still controversial and uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of a combined approach using ultrasound (US)-guided cutting-needle biopsy (CNB) and standard pleural biopsy (SPB) for diagnosing MPE. METHODS Pleural effusions were collected from 172 patients for biochemical and microbiological a...
متن کاملComputed tomography-guided cutting needle pleural biopsy: Accuracy and complications
In cases of pleural lesion, tissue samples can be obtained through thoracoscopy or closed needle biopsy for histopathological analysis. Cutting needle biopsy is a relatively recent addition to these techniques. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and safety of computed tomography-guided cutting needle pleural biopsy (CT-CNPB), as well as the associated complications, i...
متن کاملExtended thoracoscopy: a biopsy method to be used in case of pleural adhesions.
Extended thoracoscopy (ET) allows several large biopsies to be taken in patients with thick adhesions of the pleura when normal thoracoscopy is impossible. Twenty patients with undiagnosed pleural effusion or thickening and two with associated pulmonary tumour close to the chest wall underwent ET because closed adhesions prevented the induction of an artificial pneumothorax. Under local anaesth...
متن کاملInvestigation of idiopathic pleural effusions by thoracoscopy.
The African labour force employed by the goldmining industry in South Africa is recruited from an area covering the whole sub-continent from Tanganyika in the north to the Transkei in the Cape Province. The majority of these labourers are migrants, returning home for varying lengths of time between periods of mine service, which on the average last two years. Any African mine labourer suspected...
