[Use of emergency cytological studies in bronchoscopic diagnosis of pulmonary cancer]
Abstract
The article deals with the indications for emergency cytological study of central and peripheral cancer of the lung which were determined on the basis of examination of 268 patients. The significance of this method in detecting pulmonary carcinoma and reducing the number of repeated bronchoscopies is shown. A method for quick staining of the specimens is suggested and the role of emergency cytological study in complex examination of patients with cancer of the lung is shown. Emergency cytological study of material taken during bronchoscopy made it possible to verify the diagnosis in 77.7% of patients.
