Cytological diagnosis of bronchial malignancies using the fibreoptic bronchoscope.

Bronchial brush and wash material were obtained by fibreoptic bronchoscopy in 200 patients suspected of having bronchial carcinoma. Malignancy was diagnosed in 42, giving a diagnostic yield of 21%. Bronchial brush material showed the highest yield. Morphological cell typing was done on cytological material. Technical considerations, diagnostic criteria, diagnostic yield and accuracy are discussed.
