[Computed tomography in establishing the therapeutic management of lung cancer].
Computer tomography (CT), a noninvasive method of high complexity, compelled recognition in pneumological practice, becoming indispensable. The present study deals with 59 patients suspected of bronchopulmonary cancer, who were submitted to computer tomography, besides other examinations. CT contribution in establishing the diagnosis, the therapeutical line (particularly in determining the surgery moment) as well as the correlations (concordance and discordance) between the information offered by CT and by other conventional (radiological, bronchological) methods are analysed. The association of thin needle trans-thoracic biopsy (TNB) to CT ensures an important histologic confirmation which amounts to 75% of investigated cases, according to our statistical data.
