Abstract

405 cases of bronchial brushing cytology were evaluated for its effectiveness in detecting pulmonary carcinoma. Cytohistologic findings were correlated whenever endoscopic biopsies were performed. Sputum cytological investigations were also included in this paper to examine the total diagnostic sensitivity of all the three methods combined.
