  • Title: Cytological diagnosis of bronchial malignancies using the fibreoptic bronchoscope.
    Author: Kumarasinghe P, Jayasundera CI.
    Journal: Ceylon Med J; 1992 Jun; 37(2):41-3. PubMed ID: 1423748.
    Abstract:
    Bronchial brush and wash material were obtained by fibreoptic bronchoscopy in 200 patients suspected of having bronchial carcinoma. Malignancy was diagnosed in 42, giving a diagnostic yield of 21%. Bronchial brush material showed the highest yield. Morphological cell typing was done on cytological material. Technical considerations, diagnostic criteria, diagnostic yield and accuracy are discussed.
