Bronchoscopic Procedures Yield in Endoscopically Visible and Peripheral Lung Malignancy: Prospective Analysis of 100 Lung Cancer Patients
Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Lung cancer has been reported to be presently the most common malignant disease and the leading cause of cancer death. Fibre-optic bronchoscopy (FOB) is the minimal invasive procedure that allows visualization of the tracheobronchial tree and allows sampling for histo-pathological examination under direct vision. Aims and objective: To find out diagnostic yield and histological type in endoscopically visible and non visible tumour. Method: FOB and its allied procedures were performed in 100 suspected lung cancer patients using standard procedure guideline. Results: 80 patients had visible growth and 20 patients had no growth in bronchoscopic examination. Diagnostic yield of bronchial biopsy, bronchial brushing and bronchial washing was 83.78%, 60% and 32.25% respectively in visible tumour, 4 (50%), 7 (38.88%) and 7 (58.33%) respectively in non visible tumour and overall diagnostic yield was 80.48%, 65.47%, and 36.48% respectively. Small cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma was mainly central tumours and adenocarcinoma was mainly peripheral tumours. Conclusion: FOB is minimally invasive diagnostic tool that visualized trachea-bronchial tree. In safe and experienced hands it has high diagnostic yield in central tumour and good accuracy in peripheral tumours.
