Radiological and endoscopic features of lung cancer
Abstract
We examined 82 lung cancer patients admitted to the S.P.Botkin hospital for pneumonia. As a result of complex examination including radiological methods, bronchoscopy and biopsy central lung cancer was diagnosed in 68 patients, bronchioloalveolar carcinomas were revealed in 8 ones, and peripheral carcinomas with the lung tissue destruction were found in 6 patients. Principal radiological signs of the central lung carcinoma were a tumour in the lung root and ventilation disorders of a lung part. Main endoscopic features of the central lung carcinoma were tumour impression, invasion, or peribronchial growth. Bronchioloalveolar carcinomas were characterized radiologically with infiltrates and endoscopically with great volume of liquid foamy secretion. The radiological features of peripheral carcinomas with the lung tissue destruction were nodular outline of a tumour, sometimes with spiculations, and irregular inner interface.
