[Puncture of a bronchial tumor in the bronchoscopic diagnosis of lung cancer].
An analysis of the results of bronchial tumor biopsy performed in 200 lung cancer patients is reported. Morphological verification proved feasible in 193 of 200 patients. Biopsy and puncturing of the tumor are found to be most advantageous technics for the material take during bronchoscopy. Contrary to biopsy, an efficiency of transbronchial puncturing is not affected by the character of tumor growth and its morphological structure. A combined use of biopsy and puncture makes it possible to increase the percentage of morphologically supported diagnosis of pulmonary cancer. Transbronchial puncturing is also an efficient maneuver for detection of cancer recurrence in the bronchial stump and a residual tumor after conservative therapy. Endoscopic signs of the peribronchial pattern of tumor growth are absolute indications to its puncture.
