[Evaluation of the use of bronchial brushings after cytocentrifugation in the diagnosis of bronchial tumors (475 fibroscopies)].
Since 1971, cytodiagnosis of lung tumors by association of the bronchial brushing and cytocentrifugation techniques has been carried out routinely at the University Hospital of Angers. Our study covers 475 cytodiagnoses of bronchial brushings. The results obtained enable an evaluation of the diagnostic efficiency of bronchial brushing in the detection of lung tumors. The technique is convenient for routine screening and in several cases contributes directly to diagnosis.
