  • Title: [Bronchoscopic diagnosis of central lung cancer].
    Author: Gersin VA, Palamarchuk GF.
    Journal: Vopr Onkol; 1982; 28(1):14-7. PubMed ID: 7064389.
    Abstract:
    A comparative evaluation of diagnostic value of bronchioscopy was carried out by means of different models of rigid bronchoscopes and a bronchofibroscope in 356 patients with central cancer of the lung. Rigid bronchoscopes offer considerable advantages in diagnosing cancer of primary and lobular bronchi. Application of optical telescopes with rod-type lenses and flexible optical forceps increased the diagnostic efficiency of rigid bronchoscopes. Bronchofibroscopy improved the results of diagnosis of cancer of segmental bronchus.
