1. [Importance of bronchial biopsy in the histologic typing of cancer of the lung. Case study contribution (1980-1987)].

Author

Vecchio L, Battaglia C, Crisci R, Lococo A, Quaglione G, Di Francescantonio W, and Coloni GF

Subjects
Aged, Aged, 80 and over, Biopsy, Bronchoscopy, Female, Humans, Male, Middle Aged, Bronchi pathology, Lung Neoplasms pathology
Abstract

The diagnostic significance of the histological typing of lung cancer carried out on preoperative bronchoscopic biopsy samples is assessed in relation to final morphological diagnosis on operating material. In this connection 176 of 624 cases of lung cancer documented histologically from January 1980 to December 1987 in which preoperative biopsy sample was followed by removal of the lung are analysed. The 4 basic histotypes of lung cancer according to the WHO (1981) classification are considered. A positive diagnosis for cancer was encountered in 138 cases (78.4%) with histotype confirmed in 122, whereas a negative diagnosis was encountered in 38 cases (21.6%). These findings also permitted further considerations, including the possible limitations of the technique.

Abstract

Interstitial implantation of I125 by thoracotomy represents a further therapeutic procedure for lung cancer. Two cases recently treated by this procedure are reported. The first case concerns a right apical carcinoma of the lung where interstitial implantation of I125 seeds was carried out in the unresectable apical neoplastic residue, after superior lobectomy. The second case concerns a smaller tumor unresectable due to the severely impaired respiratory function. Main indications to the procedure are reported.
