  • Title: Brush cytology as a diagnostic aid for bronchogenic carcinoma.
    Author: Boghani A, Sambare D.
    Journal: Indian J Chest Dis Allied Sci; 1991; 33(1):19-23. PubMed ID: 1791017.
    Abstract:
    The results of 125 bronchoscopies were reviewed and analysed with particular emphasis on bronchial brushing. In the patients with a visible endobronchial growth, yield for malignancy was 76.6%, while 2.9% each showed evidence of adenoma and dysplasia. In the patients with no visible growth, the yield was 25% without fluoroscopic guidance. There were no major complications.
