Satisfactory Biopsy in Lung Cancer Diagnosis
Advances in molecular biology are improving the understanding of lung cancer and changing the approach to treatment. A satisfactory biopsy that allows for histologic characterization and mutation analysis is becoming increasingly important. Most patients with lung cancer are diagnosed at an advanced stage, and diagnosis is often based on a small biopsy or cytology specimen. Here, we review the ...
متن کامل[Videothoracoscopic lung biopsy in the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease].
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a diagnostic method, used with increasing frequency in recent years, in the diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases. There are significant differences in the diagnosis of diseases which are diagnosed with clinical, biochemical and radiological investigation and with pathological evaluation of material obtained by VATS. In our study, five patients w...
متن کاملLung biopsy in the diagnosis of diffuse lung disease.
This lecture commemorates Arthur Tudor Edwards, one of the very small group of surgeons who, in the decade following the first world war, established the surgery of intrathoracic organs as a practicable procedure. For one year, 1932-3, I was house officer at the Brompton Hospital to him and his colleague, J. E. H. Roberts, the two leading thoracic surgeons in London. Seeking a possible link bet...
متن کاملFindings in Lung Biopsy Tissue
At cardiac catheterization, 93 pulmonary wedge angiograms were performed in 85 patients with congenital heart defects. The pulmonary wedge angiogram was quantitatively analyzed and the findings were compared with hemodynamic features and morphometric assessment of lung biopsy tissue when available (27 patients). A pulmonary wedge catheter was directed into the right or left lower lobe to the or...
متن کاملPulmonary Actinomycosis Mimicking Lung Cancer
Herein, we reported on a case of solid type of pulmonary actinomycosis in a 10-year-old boy. He had productive cough for 40 days. Bronchoscopy was normal. Cmputed tomography revealed a solid large mass in the upper lobe of his left lung with mimicking malignant leisions. He was referred for surgery and underwent left upper lobectomy. Macroscopically, the specimen measured 13×9×5 cm and was crea...
