TLDR
Forty-eight patients underwent flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopic examination under fluoroscopic guidance, with biopsy and brushing of an endoscopically invisible primary cancer of the lung, with success in obtaining diagnostic tissue related to cellular type, location by bronchopulmonary segment, size of the tumor, and distance from the hilum.About:

Evaluation of patients with pulmonary nodules: when is it lung cancer?: ACCP evidence-based clinical practice guidelines (2nd edition).

TL;DR: Patients with pulmonary nodules should be evaluated by estimation of the probability of malignancy, performance of imaging tests to characterize the lesion(s) better, evaluation of the risks associated with various management alternatives, and elicitation of patient preferences for treatment.

Diagnostic yield of fiberoptic bronchoscopy in evaluating solitary pulmonary nodules
TL;DR: It is found that size is the strongest determinant of diagnostic yield in bronchoscopy when evaluating SPNs, particularly low in lesions that are located in the outer third of the lung.

Real-time electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy to peripheral lung lesions using overlaid CT images: the first human study.
TL;DR: The superDimension/Bronchus system (SDBS) is safe and effective in navigating to peripheral lung lesions located beyond the optic limits of a standard flexible bronchoscope and obtaining biopsy specimens.

Solitary Pulmonary Nodules: CT-Bronchoscopic Correlation

TL;DR: It is concluded that CT may be of use in the routine evaluation of pulmonary nodules, prior to bronchoscopy, especially in cases for which histologic evaluation is essential, especially to determine the presence or absence of a CT bronchus sign.

Electromagnetic navigation diagnostic bronchoscopy for small peripheral lung lesions.

TL;DR: Electromagnetic navigation-guided bronchoscopy has the potential to improve the diagnostic yield of transbronchial biopsies without additional fluoroscopic guidance, and may be useful in the early diagnosis of lung cancer, particularly in nonoperable patients.

Diagnostic Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy: Techniques and Results of Biopsy in 600 Patients
TL;DR: Six hundred patients underwent diagnostic flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FFB) and the two diseases most frequently encountered were bronchogenic carcinoma and bacterial infection, with an overall 69 percent diagnostic success.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostic Accuracy in Lung Cancer: Comparison of Techniques Used in Association with Flexible Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy
TL;DR: Bronchial washings and postbronchoscopic sputum specimens did not add significantly to diagnostic yield, and it is concluded that they should no longer be part of the diagnostic procedures routinely ordered.

Transbronchial Lung Biopsy via the Fiberoptic Bronchoscope: Experience with 107 Consecutive Cases and Comparison with Bronchial Brushing
TL;DR: TBB and bronchial brushing via the flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope offer good diagnostic accuracy and a low complication rate in both diffuse and localized lung diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of tumor size and location on diagnosis by fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
TL;DR: Evaluation of data from fiberoptic bronchoscopic procedures revealed that for peripheral bronchogenic carcinomas, the diagnostic yield was influenced by the size of the lesion and its distance from the hilum.
Comparison of Bronchial Brushing, Washing and Post-Bronchoscopy Sputum*
TL;DR: Fiberoptic bronchoscopy was used to study 103 patients with suspected pulmonary neoplasm and material was positive in 41 of the 46 patients with carcinoma, and repeat the bronchial brushing may be preferable when the initial brushing is not diagnostic.
