Cigarette smoking, preinvasive bronchial lesions, and autofluorescence bronchoscopy.
STUDY OBJECTIVES Autofluorescence bronchoscopy (AFB), when used as an adjunct to standard white light bronchoscopy (WLB), enhances the bronchoscopist's ability to localize small neoplastic lesions, especially intraepithelial lesions. The current study was undertaken in order to define the population in which the rate of detection is higher using AFB. DESIGN AND PATIENTS Two hundred forty-four...
متن کاملBronchial Lesions Function in Lung Cancer and Preinvasive FHIT
We previously cloned and characterized the tumor suppressor gene /•'////' (fragile histidine triad) at chromosome 3pl4.2 and found that this gene is altered In deletions in human tumors, including lung cancer. To assess the frequency and specificity of inactivation and its relevance in a clinical setting, we have produced antibodies against the Fhit protein and studied its expression in a ser...
متن کاملA case of early-stage lung cancer detected by autofluorescence bronchoscopy.
A 71-year-old man was referred to our hospital for further examination of abnormal sputum cytology. No abnormal nodular shadows were detected in chest X-ray and chest CT. The location of the tumor was clearly identified as a defect of autofluorescence by autofluorescence bronchoscopy at the bifurcation between the left B1+2 and B3 bronchi, whereas it was quite difficult by conventional bronchos...
متن کاملDiagnosis and treatment of bronchial intraepithelial neoplasia and early lung cancer of the central airways: Diagnosis and management of lung cancer, 3rd ed: American College of Chest Physicians evidence-based clinical practice guidelines.
BACKGROUND Bronchial intraepithelial lesions may be precursors of central airway lung carcinomas. Identification and early treatment of these preinvasive lesions might prevent progression to invasive carcinoma. METHODS We systematically reviewed the literature to develop evidence-based recommendations regarding the diagnosis and treatment of intraepithelial lesions. RESULTS The risk and tim...
متن کاملLow Prevalence of High-Grade Lesions Detected With Autofluorescence Bronchoscopy in the Setting of Lung Cancer Screening in the Pan-Canadian Lung Cancer Screening Study.
BACKGROUND Lung cancer screening with low-dose CT (LDCT) scan has been demonstrated to reduce lung cancer mortality. Preliminary reports suggested that up to 20% of lung cancers may be CT scan occult but detectable by autofluorescence bronchoscopy (AFB). We evaluated the prevalence of CT scan occult, invasive, and high-grade preinvasive lesions in high-risk participants undergoing screening for...
