Types of lung cancer cells "the medical-up date"

Some of the tests of lung specialists to get lung cancer cell types include:

     *
       Sputum cytology: to find cancer cells in sputum or sputum patients, positive results if the cancer is usually found in the respiratory tract. This examination positif<10% and highly dependent on the technique  sputum of patients to be reviewed. Sputum should be examined fresh sputum morning and immediately taken to the anatomic pathology laboratory for processing.

     *
       Fine needle biopsy: is taking tissue specimens from the superficial tumors using fine needle. For example for a tumor found in the neck, armpit or chest wall that can be palpated. This technique is simple and couples rarely cause severe complications. At the moment did sometimes required anesthesia (anesthesia) local residents. Raw results of this examination will be placed in a glass object must soaked in 98% alcohol and sent to the anatomical pathology to the process. The doctor can usually perform pulmonary rapidly and high positif results. But keep in mind though sometimes the result of positive but not the distribution of lung cancer, such as tuberculosis (TB), cancer of the lymph nodes, etc..

     *
       Ie taking Punksi pleural fluid from pleural cavity (lining the lungs) if found in the fluid of lung cancer. Punksi uses intravenous needles size 14, if the volume of lung fluid little doctor will track the exact location with the help of thoracic ultrasound. punksini results will be analyzed and sent to the anatomic pathology laboratory for processing. Positive results are not always gate  with this technique but must be done. If the volume of fluid enough lung specialist will simultaneously issue up to 1500 cc depending on patient tolerance. If the patient feels uncomfortable, crowded or cough cough the fluid flow must be stopped. In case the amount of fluid that kept many, the pulmonary specialist will flow by placing a chest tube (WSD) in an effort to reduce complaints and the lung can expand the maximum. Punksi pleura and chest tube fitting mostly pulmonary specialist with a local anesthetic. But in severe conditions should be done in the operating room with general anesthesia.

     *
       Pleural biopsy is taking a bit of pleural tissue obtained if the pleural space due to fluid retention. This method is usually done in conjunction with pleural  also not too big.

     *
       TTNA (Transthoracal needle aspiration): ie taking tissue specimens using a fine needle through the chest wall. Can be done based on the photo or with the demands of the thoracic CT-scan of lung specialists dll.  doctor  used to do this with a local anesthetic with a large positiv level.

     *
       Another way is to take the material or in spesiem airway with the help of bronchoscopy procedures. Bronchoscopy is the examination technique using a bronchoscope to see abnormalities in respiratory disorders and, if found will be flushing action, sweep and biopsy and even TBLB (trans-bronchial lung biopsy). If found kelaianan respiratory point that it is a tumor in the lung is lung cancer. Bronchoscopy requires careful preparation, Whether good cardiac function, either  bleeding or other complications due to this technique may cause serious complications k although very small numbers.
