Abstract

Lung cancer incidence is on the rise with increasing industrialization across the globe. Early diagnosis is the key to a better prognosis. In the current scenario, in developing countries, the majority are diagnosed late, when surgical or curable treatment is not possible, and only palliative treatment options are left. Bronchoscopy is the most widely used modality for the diagnosis of lung cancer. Perhaps, all its accessories are not widely used. Bronchial brush is an easy, cost effective, easily available, without significant complication rates, safe, feasible, with high specificity which offers early preliminary report where biopsy is not possible. It should be used along with biopsy to increase the yield and accuracy in all suspected lung cancer patients who require bronchoscopy.

支气管镜下支气管刷状细胞学检查:资源有限的医疗机构中一种未充分利用的肺癌诊断方式:九名患者的病例系列研究
随着全球工业化进程的加快,肺癌发病率呈上升趋势。早期诊断是改善预后的关键。目前,在发展中国家,大多数肺癌患者诊断较晚,无法进行手术或根治性治疗,只能选择姑息治疗。支气管镜是诊断肺癌最广泛使用的方法。也许,它的所有附件都没有得到广泛应用。支气管刷是一种简便、经济、易得、无明显并发症、安全、可行、特异性高的方法,可在无法进行活检的情况下提供早期初步报告。在所有需要进行支气管镜检查的疑似肺癌患者中,它应与活组织检查同时使用,以提高检查率和准确性。
