Abstract:
Giving a final diagnosis of lung cancer, is only possible due to the detail microscopy analysis of large samples, where "small biopsies" or cytological samples can be used as working diagnosis. Modern tumor diagnostics strictly includes TEM and immunohistochemistry. Also, in contemporary literature there are a lot of classifications in order to determinate nature of tumor and enlighten its causes, to describe it's biological behaviour and to predeterminate value and type of medical intervention. There is classification on bronchi cancer and lung adenomatosis bronchi-alveolar cancer). Another classification is based on microscopic view, so there are have hilus (central), lungs and periphery type. Microscopic classification has bigger significance and is based on type of tumor cell. Nature of malign lung tumor can be defined in greater details by immunohistochemical and electron microscopic research.
