  • Title: [Results of the morphological diagnosis of bronchial carcinoma by biopsy in a lung disease clinic].
    Author: Jäger J, Dürschmied H.
    Journal: Z Erkr Atmungsorgane; 1981; 157(1):74-84. PubMed ID: 7347959.
    Abstract:
    An analysis of the morphological diagnosis is made in all 339 consecutive patients suffering from lung cancer and received in our clinic in 1979. Including the non-endoscopically examined cases the tumour has been proved morphologically in 88% of central carcinomas, in 81% of the intermediary type and in 47% of peripheral ones. As for the endoscopically examined patients 93% of the central tumours and 48% of the peripheral ones were morphologically assured. Coincidence between histological and cytological type was found in 83% out of 58 resected tumours. The diagnostic efficacy of the bronchial secretion and of the material obtained by catheterbiopsy is investigated in dependence on different tumour-localisations. Furthermore the value of transthoracic needle-biopsy in cases of peripheral carcinomas is assessed.
