Description

The diagnostic value of transbronchial aspiration cytology (TBAC) for lung cancer was examined in terms of diagnostic ability and its safety. In National Sakura Hospital, TBAC and brushing cytology for 33 primary lung cancers yielded a diagnosis in 97% and 88% respectively.<BR>At bronchofiberscopy, no severe intrabronchial bleeding occurred in TBAC cases and bleeding was much less than in brushing cytology cases. No other complications were observed.<BR>We concluded that TBAC is the first method of choice for cytological diagnosis in lung cancer patients especially in peripheral type.
