title: [Bronchial biopsy, curative treatment for cancer in situ?].
abstract: Bronchial carcinoma in situ is an intra-epithelial proliferation of tumour which does not cross the basement membrane and is asymptomatic. The evidence for this cancer often rests on a biopsy carried out on a bronchus which may show simple inflammation or may even be normal. We report a new observation on a bronchial carcinoma in situ which was completely ablated after a bronchial biopsy. However surgery remains the first form of treatment for bronchial cancer. If the patient is inoperable, endobroncho-cryotherapy, radiotherapy or phototherapy may be tried but tumour recurrence remains a possibility.
