“…The malignancy rate for small periphery lesions (between 0.8 and 2.0 cm) was previously reported to be approximately 18% (10). Underscoring the potential benefit of the diagnosis and treatment of early stage lung cancer, evaluation of SPPLs highlights the importance of the pulmonologist's early and accurate diagnosis.…”

Background: Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) is emerging as a useful new technique fordiagnosing small pulmonary peripheral lesions (SPPLs). However, the accuracy and efficiency of ENB have not been investigated in Asian populations where the differential diagnoses for SPPLs may be different. To analyze this question, this study included patients who received diagnostic ENB followed by surgery for the excision of SPPLs.Methods: Consecutive patients referred to the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital (Tongji University), between May 2014 and April 2015 were recruited. ENB was used to obtain biopsy tissue and make a diagnosis, which was then confirmed by histopathological examination. Results:The ENB was performed on 84 SPPLs of 78 patients in the study, with four patients having more than one SPPL. It successfully reached and biopsied 81 lesions. The average ENB navigation time was The distance from the sensor probe to the focus was 8.0 mm (range, 1-16 mm). ENB diagnosis had identical results with histopathology examination in 81 lesions (37 lung cancer and 41 non-lung cancer). The sensitivity of ENB was 92.9% (78 out of 84 lesions) in this study.Conclusions: These data suggested that ENB was an accurate and efficient procedure to sample and diagnose SPPLs in the Asian population. It appeared that ENB had a high percentage of successful results in both navigating and aiding in the diagnosis of SPPLs in the Asian population.

“…For the distinction of benign and malignant lesions; location, diameter, calcification of the lesion, and the number of lesions are important [20]. Irregular and speculated lesions strongly suggest malignancy, whereas lesions with smooth, well-defined margins are more likely to be benign [16,[20][21][22][23]. The presence and pattern of calcification are strong indicators for benignancy [16,20,21,24].…”

“…Radiografias do tórax vs. tomografia computadorizada helicoidal (51)(52)(53)(54)(55)(56) : Os estudos realizados no passado demonstraram as limitações da radiografia do tórax na identificação precoce de nódulos pulmonares. No Mayo Lung Project, em uma análise retrospectiva, 90% dos carcinomas periféricos e 75% dos peri-hilares, já estavam presentes em radiografias anteriores (51) .…”

O carcinoma brônquico é, de todos, o de maior letalidade, responsabilizando-se, anualmente, por maior número de óbitos do que aqueles decorrentes do câncer do cólon, mama e próstata juntos. Seguindo seu curso natural, mais de 50% dos pacientes têm metástases a distância e somente 20 a 25% são potencialmente ressecáveis no momento do diagnóstico, com perspectiva de sobrevida em cinco anos de apenas 14%.
