[Complex diagnosis of bronchial cancer]
Abstract:
The necessity and the value of early complex diagnostics of the bronchial carcinoma as a supposition for an optimal treatment is discussed. To avoid any delay, an immediate admission to a high specialized clinic, where all necessary diagnostic methods are available, must be desired. Our own investigations show the importance of several symptoms often neglected. A view of the diagnostic methods in use since many years and their results are given. Endoscopy and endoscopic biopsies are further indispensable methods with a high diagnostic yield in the diagnosis of bronchial carcinoma. The use and the efficiency of different methods depend on an exact clinical and radiological localization of the tumor.
