Dr. Deepti Ramakrishnan, Dr. Divya. S

Abstract :

 Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in the world.?e rate of early diagnosis is increased with the availability of newer imaging modalities and pathology studies.Current study was planned to compare various cytological methods with transonchial/CT guided lung biopsy and an attempt was made to detect whether combination of different methods will yield better resulrs. A descriptive study was conducted over a period of 1 year.A total of 97 cases in which the radiological and onchoscopic evaluations were suggestive of malignancy and the biopsy became positive were included in the study. Most common histological type was adenocarcinoma(44.3%). In 54 cases onchial wash and ush were done along with endoscopic biopsies.In 43 cases CT guided FNAC results were compared with histopathology of CT guided biopsies.Combined evaluation of samples obtained by different methods helps to arrive at a more accurate diagnosis
