Abstract:
In 117 bronchial carcinoma patients hospitalized to receive radiation therapy, the serum levels of aldolase, LDH, alkaline phosphatase, GOT and GPT were checked prior to, during, and following radiation therapy at intervals of 4--6 weeks. Among the enzymes tested, aldolase proved to provide the best screening test for judging prognosis, course of disease and probable occurrence of recurrence or metastases.

Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due to...

Gastrointestinal (GI) diagnostic studies are pivotal in confirming, ruling out, diagnosing, or staging various diseases, including cancers. Following diagnosis, allocating time for discussions with the patient and providing informational resources is crucial. Diagnostic assessments of the GI tract often occur in outpatient settings like endoscopy suites or GI labs. Preparation for these tests may include dietary restrictions, fasting, liquid bowel preparations, laxatives, enemas, and the...
