Comparative analysis for diagnostic yield of small cell lung cancer by cytology and histology during the same bronchoscopic procedure

Forceps biopsy, bronchial brushing, and TBNA are the most common methods for diagnosis of SCLC during the same diagnostic bronchoscopic procedure. We have used a retrospective method to analyze the pathological results obtained by bronchoscopy in 140 patients and showed that diagnostic yield of SCLC by cytology of brushing and TBNA is superior to histology of HE and immunohistochemistry.
