Objective: To analyze the clinical features of lung cancer diagnosed by bronchoscopy. Methods:The clinical features of2168 patients with lung cancer diagnosed by bronchoscopy were retrospectively analyzed, including gender, age, pathological type, diseased region, manifestations under bronchoscopy and methods of drawing materials. Results:The ratio of male/female was 4.8:1 and the peak onset age was 60~69 years old. The major pathological type was squamous cell carcinoma (44.5%), then adenocarcinoma (25.9%) and small cell lung cancer (18.3%). The incidence of squamous cell carcinoma was the highest in males (50.6%), while that of adenocarcinoma in females (56.2%). The positive diagnostic rates of forceps biopsy, brush biopsy, bronchial alveolar lavage and transbronchial needle aspiration were 81.6%, 49.4%, 18.2% and 62.6%, respectively, whereas that of biopsy combined with brush biopsy came up to 89.0%. Conclusion: Bronchoscopy is an important method in diagnosis of lung cancer. Different ages and genders of patients with lung cancer have different onset, and the distribution of pathological types is diverse. Attaching more importance to bronchoscopy and improving biopsy technique can signiifcantly improve the diagnostic rate and provide reliable evidences for clinical treatment.
