1. Bronchoscopy for the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer.
   Semin Respir Crit Care Med. 2008 Jun;29(3):261-70
   Authors: El-Bayoumi E, Silvestri GA
   Bronchoscopy is an invaluable tool utilized for the diagnosis, staging, and management of lung cancer. Advancements in computer technology and engineering have allowed for the emergence of newer modalities to evaluate endobronchial, parenchymal, and mediastinal pathology. Established techniques such as white light video bronchoscopy and its ancillary procedures (forceps biopsy, brush biopsy, bronchoalveolar lavage, bronchial washings, and transbronchial needle aspiration) are discussed here, with their accuracy described in relation to tumor location, size, ...
