To assess the Histological profile and diagnostic yield of various procedures in patient of Lung malignancy
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
Background:In India and worldwide lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality. Most of the previous Indian studies have described squamous cell carcinoma as the commonest histology.The present study is therefore aimed to study the histological profile of lung malignancy by using various diagnostic tool and their diagnostic yield. Methods & Material: This is a hospital based cross sectional study conducted in patients having sign and symptoms suggestive of lung malignancy. Various diagnostic techniques are used for histological profile and we also compare the yield of all diagnostic techniques. Results: 172 patients were included in the study. Maximum diagnostic yield was obtained by Fibre optic Bronchoscopy (76.7%) followed by CT guided FNAC/Biopsy (44.2%), thoracoscopy guided pleural biopsy (14.4%), USG guided FNAC/Biopsy (12.2%), pleural fluid cytology for malignant cell(3.4%) and sputum cytology for malignant cell (1.1%). Squamous cell carcinoma seen in 37.8% followed by adenocarcinoma in 27.9%, Small cell carcinoma in13.4%, Large cell carcinoma in 4.1% and adenosquamous carcinoma in 2.3%. Conclusions: Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common histological type and Maximum diagnostic yield was obtained with bronchoscopy
