Application of flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope used in central lung cancer diagnosis / 中国医学装备

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of fiber bronchoscopy for central lung cancer.Methods: The clinical data of 137 patients with central lung cancer were retrospectively analyzed. The diagnostic coincidence rate and the performance of the bronchoscopy were analyzed and compared with the traditional CT imaging examination.Results: The coincidence rate of diagnosis(90.51%) was higher than that of CT (75.91%) (x2=10.450,P<0.05). The diagnostic coincidence rate of flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope of squamous cell carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma and adenocarcinoma was 92.86%%, 92.68% and 66.67% respectively. The most common type of the fibrous branch was hyperplasia (61.31%) by flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope.Conclusion:In the diagnosis of central lung cancer, the fiber bronchoscopy has important value of MRI and CT can not be replaced.
