  • Title: [Significance of multiple biopsies using the fiber bronchoscope in the morphological diagnosis of central cancer of the lung].
    Author: Nurguzhaev KS, Kolysheva NI, Dzhumashev EZ, Shibanova AI, Kim IaV.
    Journal: Vopr Onkol; 1988; 34(5):600-4. PubMed ID: 2837871.
    Abstract:
    The paper discusses the first experience with fiber bronchoscope--mediated sampling for histologic examination in 183 cases of central carcinoma of the lung. As a result, cancer was histologically identified in 98.9% and cytologically verified in 60.2%. Complex histologic and cytologic examination reliably established central carcinoma of the lung in 100%. Cancer was detected in 51.3-72% of bronchial biopsies (mean--64.7%).
