Sputum examination for early detection of lung cancer

Abstract: ''A sputum sample is considered representative if alveolar macrophages or bronchial epithelial cells are present because this shows that the samples originate from deep within the lung'' Sputum cytology plays a limited role in prospective lung cancer screening studies. 26 27

“…6 However, it was no more effective than chest radiographs in detecting lung cancer in several large prospective randomized trials. 3 The molecular genetic changes detected in sputum may correlate with those exist in lung tumors, and could occur before morphological changes that can be found by a cytological test.…”

“…As morphological changes of exfoliated bronchial epithelium from sputum are associated with incident squamous cell carcinoma of the lungs, 5,6 cytologic analysis of sputum has been used clinically for its diagnosis. 6 However, it was no more effective than chest radiographs in detecting lung cancer in several large prospective randomized trials.…”

“…Squamous cell carcinoma constituted only 1 of the observed false negatives in each group. That observation could be related to the greater sensitivity for the detection of squamous cell carcinoma also seen in sputum cytology, because squamous cell carcinomas are frequently more centrally located 42 .…”

“…Образец мокроты считается адекватным при наличии в ней макрофагов или бронхиальных альвеолярных клеток [23]. Однако большим недостатком этого метода является низкая чувствительность, которая в среднем не превышает 65% [24], из-за ошибки забора материала, технических трудностей подготовки материала, а также значительной вариабельности со-гласованности между специалистами. Вероятность обнаружения атипичных клеток в мокроте увеличивается при центральной ло-кализации рака легкого, большом размере опухоли, более про-грессивных стадиях рака, плоскоклеточном раке (в отличие от аденокарциномы) [25].…”
