title: [Laparoscopy in the detection of hepatic metastasis of early bronchial cancer (100 laparoscopies)].
abstract: Staging 125 cases of primary lung cancer, peritoneoscopy for detection of liver metastasis was done each time it was possible. 100 peritoneoscopies were done, 92 were available. Tolerance was excellent. First investigation showed 16,3% liver metastasis. Higher frequency (35,3%) is found in oat cells carcinomas and lower in epidermoids (13,1%) and adenocarcinomas and/or undifferentiated (7,1%). Above all, in 7,6% of cases, peritoneoscopy alone was able to give diagnosis of liver metastasis not detected by other means. Peritoneoscopy shows no false positive, is safe and more effective than scans of biologic tests, can be repeated, and must become part of staging of lung cancers.
