Abstract:
Objective To explore the diagnostic value of thin prep cytology test(TCT) in central lung cancer. Methods All 127 patients suspected central lung cancer were detected by transbronchial needle aspiration(TBNA). The patients were randomly assigned into two groups, the group of conventional smear,CS (62 cases) and the group of CS+TCT(65 cases). The sensitivity and specificity of two methods were compared. Results The sensitivity and specificity of CS were 75.9%and 100.0% respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of CS+TCT were 96.2% and 100.0% respectively. The sensitivity of CS+TCT was significantly higher than sensitivity of CS in diagnosis of lung cancer (P=0.000046<0.01). Conclusion Combination of CS and TCT techniques can improve the TBNA diagnostic sensitivity of lung cancer. TBNA-TCT detection methods should be applied to clinical activites.
