From the point of view of bronchoscopic diagnosis malignant growths of the lung may be divided into three classes:
- 1. Growths primarily endobronchial
- 2. Growths primarily peribronchial or parenchymal
- 3. Peribronchial growths seen after the endobronchial intrusion of the growth
ENDOBRONCHIAL GROWTHS
Primarily Endobronchial New Growths.—In these cases the diagnosis can be made very early, in fact in the incipiency, by bronchoscopic methods. A cancer no larger than a grain of sand can be seen and nipped off for examination. In a few instances the biopsy has been done so early that there has been no recurrence of the growth; it was adequately removed at the diagnostic bronchoscopy. The only reason why early diagnosis of endobronchial malignant growths is not more frequently made is that the patient is not referred to the bronchoscopist at an early stage in the disease.
